And She Washed His Feet with Her Tears, and Wiped Them with the Hairs of Her Head
The proud AEgyptian Queen, her Roman guest,
(T'express her love in height of state, and pleasure)
With pearl dissolv'd in gold did feast,
Both food, and treasure.
And now (dear Lord!) thy lover, on the fair
And silver tables of thy feet, behold!
Pearl in her tears, and in her hair
Offers thee gold.

And now (dear Lord!) thy lover, on the fair
And silver tables of thy feet, behold!

Offers thee gold.
