Nicholas Breton (Николас Бретон)
An Odd Conceit
LOVELY kind, and kindly loving, Such a mind were worth the moving; Truly fair, and fairly true-- Where are all these, but in you? Wisely kind, and kindly wise; Blessed life, where such love lies! Wise, and kind, and fair, and true-- Lovely live all these in you. Sweetly dear, and dearly sweet; Blessed, where these blessings meet! Sweet, fair, wise, kind, blessed, true-- Blessed be all these in you!
