Coventry Patmore - Venus And DeathCoventry Patmore - Venus And Death
Work rating: Low


With fetters gold her captivated feet               Lay, sunny sweet;               In that palm was the poppy, Sleep; in this               The apple, Bliss;               Against the mild side of his Spouse and Mother               One small God throve, and in`t, meseem`d, another.               By these a Death-in-Life did foully breathe               Out of a face that was one grate of teeth.               Lift, O kind Angels, lift her eyelids loth,               Lest he devour her and her Godlets both!
