V Cave Of Roses Lyrics

V Cave Of Roses lyrics

What is your substance, whereof are you made,
That millions of strange
shadows on you tend?
Since every one hath, every one, one shade,
And
you, but one, can every shadow lend.
Describe Adonis, and the
counterfeit
Is poorly imitated after you;
On Helen's cheek all art of
beauty set,
And you in Grecian tires are painted new:
Speak of the
spring and foison of the year;
The one doth shadow of your beauty show,
The other as your bounty doth appear;
And you in every blessed shape we
know.
     In all external grace you have some part,
     But you
like none, none you, for constant heart.
