Tyler, Royall: Sonnet to an Old Mouser - ZaunköniG - 22.05.2007 Sonnet to an Old Mouser Child of lubricious art, of sanguine sport! Of pangful mirth! sweet ermin'd sprite! Who lov'st, with silent, velvet step, to court The bashful bosom of the night. Whose elfin eyes can pierce night's sable gloom, And witch her fairy prey with guile, Who sports fell frolic o'er the grisly tomb, And gracest death with dimpling smile! Daughter of ireful mirth, sportive in rage, Whose joy should shine in sculptur'd bas relief Like Patience, in rapt Shakespeare's deathless page, Smiling in marble at wan grief. Oh, come, and teach me all thy barb'rous joy, To sport with sorrow first, and then destroy. |
