Richard Lovelace - A Lady With A Falcon On Her Fist. To The Honourable My CousRichard Lovelace - A Lady With A Falcon On Her Fist. To The Honourable My Cous
Work rating: Low


                    I. This Queen of Prey (now prey to you),   Fast to that pirch of ivory In silver chaines and silken clue,   Hath now made full thy victory:                     II. The swelling admirall of the dread   Cold deepe, burnt in thy flames, oh faire! Wast not enough, but thou must lead   Bound, too, the Princesse of the aire?                     III. Unarm`d of wings and scaly oare,   Unhappy crawler on the land, To what heav`n fly`st? div`st to what shoare,   That her brave eyes do not command?                     IV. Ascend the chariot of the Sun   From her bright pow`r to shelter thee: Her captive (foole) outgases him;   Ah, what lost wretches then are we!                     V. Now, proud usurpers on the right   Of sacred beauty, heare your dombe; Recant your sex, your mastry, might;   Lower you cannot be or`ecome:                     VI. Repent, ye er`e nam`d he or head,   For y` are in falcon`s monarchy, And in that just dominion bred,   In which the nobler is the shee.
