XIII. TO GLORIANA.
To thee, bright Lady! whom all hearts confessTheir queen, as thou dost highly pace along,
Like the Night's pale and lovely sultaness
Walking the wonder-silent stars among!
Beyond my lowly hopes—take thou no wrong
If in a perilous vein of liberty,
Nymph of the splendid brow and raven tress,
This humble strain I dedicate to thee.
Cold in thy loveliness, as that fond stone
Which vainly emulates thy purity,
Standing in Beauty's temple all alone,—
Do not despise the God of Song in me;
Do not, because thou art, we justly own,
Above all praise, above all homage be!
