THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 97 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: LOVE, GUILLARDUN! THIS VISION CHRIST ASSIGN'D
Last Line: ERE THOU WITHDRAW'ST THE HEAVEN-LIGHT OF THINE EYES!'
Subject(s): SIN;

'Love, Guillardun! this vision Christ assign'd
In token of mercy and of sin abjured;
Yet had my soul for evermore repined
Until of thee full pardon was procured.
Now on thy lips there breathes a placid wind,
Condoning that deep wrong thou hast endured.
O kiss me once, tho' but in spirit-wise,
Ere thou withdraw'st the heaven-light of thine eyes!'
