MY LADY (Canzone)

I'll tell you of my Lady all I know;
And, if my lady knew
That I would tell this, she would etc. etc.
And say, “Why, all is his, so let him tell.”
[_]

She is full of incidents, like all beautiful Nature. Then follow descriptive lines about her different attitudes, expressions, etc. Perhaps to wind up by saying that nothing one can say is so expressive of her as her own name, which means herself only: and that cannot be said for others to hear.
