Excerpt from Quick Action

To rhyme your name
With something lovely, fresh and young.
And sing the same
In measures heretofore unsung,
Is far beyond me, I'm afraid;
I'll not attempt it, dearest maid.

No, not in verse.
Synthetic, stately, classic, chaste,
Shall I rehearse -
Although in perfectly good taste -
A catalogue of every grace
That you inherit from your race.

Gracious and kind,
The gods your beauty gave to you,
And with a mind
These same kind gods endowed you, too;
That charming union is, I fear,
Somewhat uncommon on this sphere.

I have no doubt
That scores of poets chant your fame;
No doubt, about
A million suitors press their claim;
And fashion, elegance and wit
Are at your feet inclined to sit.
