To An Unknown Lady Poem by Josias Lyndon Arnold

To An Unknown Lady



If beauty could my bosom move,
And bind my heart in chains of love,
Thy face had caused my breast to glow,
And brought me to thy footstool low.

But my heart beauty cannot bind,
Unless to wit and virtue join’d:
If thou hast these, fair nymph, I’ll be
A lover – and a slave to thee.
