From a Maiden Fallen From Grace

From A Maiden, Fallen From Grace

I shall speaketh of this lazy codpiece lover in jest:

My Lordship tempts thy lady friend.

Come hither, my mortal villain.

Bestow upon me your idle fortune.

Shall I asketh but for a trifle portion
of thy hidden vessel of golden coins, this time?

Alas, make haste, to woo thine merry wench.

Do not pretend to deceive thine maiden,

one as true as I.

Lest I must vow to yield not my treasures.

Yet still thou must quench they wicked desires

in thy usual loathsome manner.

Therefore, do not curse thy saucy maiden

or torment her more this hour.

Please, I beg of you, do not let thy maiden say

"farewell" on this perilous winter's night eve.

I foreswear to please thee,

as thou desires are so well known to thine lover, only,

forever more.

Do not beseech me,

or place your burdens and evil vulgar ways

On this lovely maiden,

as I have traveled so far away

from mine own kingdom to find thee, my love.

If thou dost change thy wanton mind

remember that while thou questions thy morals

thy sum is past overdue, methinks.

And I will withhold mine golden love

Till the dawning's first light

when you shall cry for mercy

lest thine fair maiden

wilt be gone,

forever more.

tskiki commented on From a Maiden Fallen From Grace 12-14-2009: Ah the many measures or torture we must endure on both the giving and receiving. But, by chance a most splendid illumination as both opposites seek to attract. I enjoyed both the playful banter and old style, something I can appreciate but not write.; Reply to Comment
