Katherine Phillips - To One Persuading a Lady to Marriage - Ghizela Rowe
To one persuading a lady to marriage
By Katherine Phillips
Forbear bold youth all 's heaven here
And what you do aver
To others courtship may appear
'Tis sacrilege to her
She is a public deity
And were at not very odd
She should dispose herself to be
A petty household God
First make the sun in private shine
And bid the world adieu
That so he may his beams confine
In compliment to you
But if of that you do despair
Think how you did amiss
To strive to fix her beams which are
More bright and large than his
