A STORY OF HER DECEASED HUSBAND’S BROTHER
“I curse the hand that did the deid,
The heart that thocht the ill,
The feet that bare me wi’ sic speid
The comelie youth to kill.”
– Gil Morrice.
A SONNET OF DEDICATION
This book is thine, my friend, and this thy song,
My service follows aye where rests my heart;
Since heart and service then to thee belong,
Take also this, which of myself is part.
A sorry gift, beneath thy lightest thought –
Thy meanest thanks, – yet, worthless though it be,
One value hath it still, that it was wrought,
As is all else of mine, beloved, for thee!
My life hath no good thing that doth not take
Its brightness from the love which is my sun;
For thee I sing or laugh, and for thy sake
From day to day whate’er I do is done!
Yet, though this be, and still like morning’s glow
That one sweet thought turn all my grey to gold,
Thou dost not know my heart, nor canst thou know
As others do, to whom that heart is cold!
I am a dullard in thy presence, sweet,
I have no power to think when thou art near,
And from my trembling lips the words retreat,
Abashed and coy, when thou art by to hear!
Would I be witty to deserve thy grace?
Would I be wise to win some praise from thee?
‘Tis all in vain – I look but in thy face,
And straightway love alone possesseth me!
Since, then, thy face my sight doth ever fill,
Thy fault it is this book is writ so ill!
