Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: XXXVIII
Work rating: Low

``I do not doubt it. You have a look of truth
 Which is beyond suspicion. But the world
 Is as full of knaves as fools. You have your youth
 And I my wisdom. Then your head is curled
 Just as I like it, and your face is smooth,
 And it can blush like your red innocent hands.
 I saw it in an instant in the booth
 That we should know each other and be friends.
 It does not do to question. Look at me.
 I am not pretty, yet the world`s best sense
 Has raved about my beauty foolishly
 These five years past in every mood and tense!
 Say. Would you like we should be friends for good?``
 Not knowing what I said, I said I would.
