WHAT IS THY BELOVÉD MORE THAN ANOTHER BELOVÉD?
“But what is thy Belovéd to behold
More than another?”—He is pure
As substances that grain on grain endure,
As ambergris eternal in its gold.
More wonderful and in aloofness bold
His looking forth, more sensuously sure
Than Pan's, when from great caverns that immure
He looks abroad with all his flocks to fold.

More wonderful and in aloofness bold
His looking forth, more sensuously sure
Than Pan's, when from great caverns that immure
He looks abroad with all his flocks to fold.
More than another he is beautiful,
Nor is there any balm that gathereth
His sweetness up, or flower that you can pull:
From his own ecstasy he incenses,
Even as a camel feeding on myrrh trees
Blows from his nostrils aromatic breath.
