Death's Warning to Beauty
Lovely lady, rein thy will,
Let my words a warning be,
Bid thy longing heart be still.
Wed no man. Remember me.
If my counsel like thee not,
Winsome beauty, bright of blee,
Thou knows't not what deeds I've wrought.
Wed no man. Remember me.
If thou knows't not they are clay:
That slim form eyes may not see,
That round breast silk hides away.
Wed no man. Remember me.
Keep my counsel lest thou slip.
If love or hate men offer thee,
Hide thy heart and hoard thy lip.
Wed no man. Remember me.
Let my words a warning be,
Bid thy longing heart be still.
Wed no man. Remember me.
If my counsel like thee not,
Winsome beauty, bright of blee,
Thou knows't not what deeds I've wrought.
Wed no man. Remember me.
If thou knows't not they are clay:
That slim form eyes may not see,
That round breast silk hides away.
Wed no man. Remember me.
Keep my counsel lest thou slip.
If love or hate men offer thee,
Hide thy heart and hoard thy lip.
Wed no man. Remember me.
