TO MRS. ------.
Too beautiful art thou to be beheldOf mortal eyes without suggestión
Of that should be unthought, still more undonc,
Unless the Earthly by Divine be quelled:
For Sin is both attracted and repelled!
Whiles Beauty, like a magnet, draws us on,
And steel can no more that than hearts th' other one
Resist; by Adoration Sin expelled
Is touched to that it worships! In such case,
Thy beauty and thy virtue both combine
In one pure heavenly beam of light: two rays,
Or like two chords of music to so fine
And perfect pitch attempered, that no place
For discords is, but unison divine!
