![]() ![]() I beseech you most noble lady to accept for ever one who in all things will cheerfully do your will as long as his days shall last. Not only kings, but also gods and goddesses have bent their necks beneath its yoke. Do not think it below yourself to obey love's dictates. Love is not an earthly thing, it is heaven born. Most noble lady, my soul, look mercifully down upon me, your slave who has ever been devoted to you from the first hour he saw you. All my hopes rest in you, and in you alone. Whether I was waking or sleeping I cannot find rest or happiness except in your affection. If I represent to my mind all your perfections, I am not only compelled to love, to adore and to worship you, but love makes me your slave. ![]() I shall, perhaps, be the happiest of all your admirers, and the happiest man on earth, since I have reason to hope you will think me worthy of your love. ![]() Your purple light of youth, your fair hair in one word at the splendid perfection of your person:-and looking at they cannot choose but admire you admiring they cannot choose but to love you loving they cannot choose but to obey you. Whilst on the one hand, they admire your riches and immutable prosperity, which secure to you the nobility of your lineage and the loftiness of your rank, they are, on the other hand, struck by your rather divine than human beauty, and believe that you are not born in our days but descended from Heaven.Īll look at your face so bright and serene that it gives splendour to the cloudy sky all look at your eyes so brilliant as stars which make all pain to be forgotten, and turn despair into delight all look at your neck which outshines pearls all look at your fine forehead. For they see your two-fold virtues by which you are so much distinguished above all other mortals. Most noble lady, it is not without reason that all turn their eyes to you that all admire love and obey you. ![]()
