Celia’s Eyes

Pastiche

Tell me not that babies dwell
   In the deeps of Celia’s eyes;
Cupid in each hazel well
   Scans his beauties with surprise,
      And would, like Narcissus, drown
      In my Celia’s eyes of brown.

Tell me not that any goes
   Safe by that enchanted place;
Eros dwells with Anteros
   In the garden of her Face,
      Where like friends who late were foes
      Meet the white and crimson Rose.
