To His Fairest Valentine, Mrs. A.L. Poem by Richard Lovelace
To His Fairest Valentine, Mrs. A.L.
"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:
And warble forth, ye virgins nine,
Some music to my Valentine.
"Her bosom is love's paradise,
There is no heav'n but in her eyes;
She's chaster than the turtle-dove,
And fairer than the queen of love:
Yet all perfections do combine
To beautifie my Valentine.
"She's Nature's choicest cabinet,
Where honour, beauty, worth and wit
Are all united in her breast.
The graces claim an interest:
All virtues that are most divine
Shine clearest in my Valentine."
" Her bosom is love's paradise, There is no heav'n but in her eyes; ... " She's Nature's choicest cabinet, Where honour, beauty, worth and wit Are all united in her breast.... Finest of expressions in a beautiful poem.
