12 - What counsel has the hooded moon - Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,

________________________________________________
What counsel has the hooded moon
Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
Of Love in ancient plenilune,
Glory and stars beneath his feet -- -
A sage that is but kith and kin
With the comedian Capuchin?

Believe me rather that am wise
In disregard of the divine,
A glory kindles in those eyes
Trembles to starlight. Mine, O Mine!
No more be tears in moon or mist
For thee, sweet sentimentalist.

Read next: 13 - Go seek her out all courteously, - And say I come,

Read previous: 11 - Bid adieu, adieu, adieu, - Bid adieu to girlish days,
