Sonnet - 112 Poem by Xavier Mandreza

With the Mind set in its Valley's Debate
Un-sure whether it Promotes our Revenge
Or Goblet's bet Wine for her Hour's Rebate
Sip her Channels through her Soul renege
Haply think, such Mind your Heart's Conceal
Prone to Experiment by which one Adores
As I, Hopeful at least your Human reveal
On Fine Degrees lay my Thoughts on these Floors
This is your Film, One which Forbid me to bind
As Reserved for your Throne her Life deserves
By me, Startled Witness took my Life in-Kind
So let Tradition lay your Elder's Conserves.
That this Respect tame the Downer in me
Pour my Service more as Friendship can see.
