Faerie Queene - 1. Picture of Charley
Of all the many views you gave to me
Why did I save the one of when you slept?
While other men the hard and brazen surely kept,
I, the tender spirit chose to see -
Like young Endymion who slept upon
The hillside, soft and bare beneath the moon,
And lay uncaring, open; and yet soon
Awoke and stretched and then was gone.
With beard and sinew, stern and callous gaze
You draw those men who win more oft than I
To taste those battles lasting but a night.
Yet I am victor, glad for endless days
When I can keep you to myself, and spy
Into your heart, and feed my selfish sight.
