you behold a poor love-stricken maid,
y swain is another Othello, in shade.
t and despise the monotonous white,
akin of deep sable is all my delight :
or white Rose shall be found in my bower,
fancy inclines to a much rarer flower ;
is black pudding is sweet Robin Rose,

blacken of paper the fair virgin reams

Ilacker oblivion up-swallows them all !
