THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 49 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: LIFE DOTH NO RICHER JOY TO MAN ACCORD
Last Line: THEY PUT ALL FAINT RESOLVES TO HEADLONG FLIGHT!
Subject(s): DESIRE; LOVE;

Life doth no richer joy to man accord
Than to behold the Darling of Desire
Entrancedly awaiting Love's first word,
That master-word for which the Fates conspire!
The opals that her childing eyes have stored
A softer, deeper radiancy acquire—
Loadstars that scour the darkness of his night,
They put all faint resolves to headlong flight!
