Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.

If I could choose my paradise,
And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

Whom ranks of lilies neighbor nigh,
Within which bounds she balm encloses,
Apt to entice a deity.

Did waxe both wan and pale.
