Of the beauty of the Beloved
alone am I advised.
Sincerely with much surprise,
in kind I respond
since friendship transcends gender.
For does not human charms pale
before true Beauty?
And does not human intellect
fail to give wisdom,
save through true experience?
The Beloved's beauty has
only been oft noticed since
my recent surprise,
that I do fear I may pale
in the presence of herself.
