Tudor and Stuart Love Songs — Thomas Parnell
WHEN THY BEAUTY APPEARS.
When thy beauty appears In its graces and airs, All bright as an angel new dropt from the sky;
At a distance I gaze, and am aw'd by my fears, So strangely you dazzle my eye!
But then, without art, Your kind thought you impart, When your love runs in blushes through every vein;
When it darts from your eyes, when it pants in your heart, Then I know you're a woman again.
There's a passion and pride In our sex, she replied, And thus, might I gratify both, would I do: Still an angel appear to each lover beside, But still be a woman to you.
Thomas Parnell.
