In the three-part shadow of

I come to you the double the multiple
as like you as the era of deltas.

But even so,

That he should seek my hospitality
From out the dark door of the secret earth.

The
shepherd
threw his hook and tottered past;
The ploughman ran but none could go so fast;
The woodman threw his faggot from the way
And ceased to chop and wondered at the fray.

He takes a sovran privilege
Not allowed to any liege;
For Cupid goes behind all law,
And right into himself does draw;
For he is
sovereignly
allied,--
Heaven's oldest blood flows in his side,--
And interchangeably at one
With every king on every throne,
That no god dare say him nay,
Or see the fault, or seen betray;
He has the Muses by the heart,
And the stern Parcae on his part.

IV
If I had been a boy,
I would have worshiped your grace,
I would have flung my worship
before your feet,
I would have
followed
apart,
glad, rent with an ecstasy
to watch you turn
your great head, set on the throat,
thick, dark with its sinews,
burned and wrought
like the olive stalk,
and the noble chin
and the throat.
