Edith Nesbit - To His lady,Edith Nesbit - To His lady,
Work rating: Low


IMPLORING HER TO BE TRUE MISTRESS of me, mistress of all the arts And charms that sway men`s hot ungoverned hearts,     Receive their tribute--smile at their defeat;     I do not ask that you should spare them, sweet. Only I ask that in the secret shrine No prayers be heard, no offering laid, but mine. Each man who sees your eyes must needs lay down Low at your feet the votive myrtle crown:     Let them bring crowns to die beneath your feet; I, only I, must bring the crown you wear Shadowing the sombre glory of your hair.
