Ode IV

	Her beauty radiates most brilliant
	A star compares as strong
	As to the strength of a full-grown buck
	To that of new-born fawn

	The morning sunlight in her hair
	Could light an eclipsed moon
	Her eyes do sparkle far greater
	Than a crystal ‘flecting noon

	I know not if this love of mine
	Shares in my admiration
	If not, her beauty then, alone
	Can yield my celebration

	This beauty live though far away
	Inside my heart, for ever and a day
