"Why having won
her do I woo?
Because her spirit's
vestal grace
Provokes me always
to pursue,
But, spirit-like,
eludes embrace;
Because her womanhood
is such,
That, as on Courtdays
subjects kiss
The Queen's hand,
yet so near a touch
Affirms no mean
familiarness
Nay, rather marks more
fair the height
Which can with
safety not neglect
To dread, as lower
ladies might
That grace could meet
with disrespect.
