PENANCES

These are my happy penances. To makeBeauty without a Covenant; to takeMeasure of time only because I knowThat in death’s market-place I still shall oweService to beauty that shall not be done;To know that beauty’s doctrine is begunAnd makes a close in sacrifice; to findIn beauty’s courts the unappeasable mind.

Beauty without a Covenant; to take

Measure of time only because I know

That in death’s market-place I still shall owe

Service to beauty that shall not be done;

To know that beauty’s doctrine is begun

And makes a close in sacrifice; to find

In beauty’s courts the unappeasable mind.
