Richard Lovelace


Blushes like a virgin.	1
Bright as the argent-horned mornes.	2
Certaine as wayes unto the blinde.	3
Chaste as th’ Arabian bird, who all the ayr denyes.	4
Chaste as the air.	5
Cold as the breath of winds that blow To silver shot descending snow.	6
Fair as original light first from the chaos shot.	7
Gentle as chaines that honor binde.	8
Groans like a cannon-ball.	9
She’s as kind as new faln April showers.	10
Silent as the ev’nings ayre.	11
Swift as the thunderbolt.	12
