So close and smooth are laid the few fine locks

Colored like honey oozed from topmost rocks

Sun-blanched the livelong summer'—if they heard

Just those two rhymes, assented at my word,

And loved them as I love them who have run

These fingers through those pale locks, let the sun

Into the white cool skin—who first could clutch,

Then praise—I needs must be a god to such.

Or what if some, above themselves, and yet

How had he been superior to Eglamor?
