THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 15 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: HER BEAUTY DEEPEN'D, LIKE A COBALT SKY
Last Line: SHOW'D HER PALE FACE MORE DELICATELY FAIR.
Subject(s): BEAUTY; COURTS & COURTIERS;

Her beauty deepen'd, like a cobalt sky
When of an autumn eve the moon breaks through
And cleaving the piled cloudrack racing by
Suffuses all the heavens with lustre new;
And, like the Queen of Night enthroned on high,
All lesser beauties waned before her view;
While the thick coils of her dark braided hair
Show'd her pale face more delicately fair.
