Sonnets or tin Greek l » ptl ) Ologp , 8 > o . 12 , TO MELETE . NO haste unseemly , lovely Melete Dost thou permit with those who seek thine aid ; And , when thy lovers come to worship thee—If thou in Helicon should ' st be delayed ; Thou dost not go to them with vulgar speed—But thinkest thrice what it were best to do . And none can blame thee for this perfect creed ; Thy satellites come hurriedly to woo Without that quality—consideration ; So that they overstep Queen Wisdom ' s bound , And find , too late , it was imagination That plunged them on a dark and treacherous ground . But , led by thee—thou goddess of deligbtj All things show plainly , e ' en to mortal sight . Bradford . CHAS . F . FOBSHAW , M . A .
