TO A VIRTUOUS YOUNG LADY.

14 lines
John Milton·1608–1674
✦
ady, that in the prime of earliest youthWisely hast shunned the broad way and the green,And with those few art eminently seenThat labor up the hill of heavenly Truth,The better part with Mary and with Ruth 5Chosen thou hast; and they that overween,And at thy growing virtues fret their spleen,No anger find in thee, but pity and ruth.Thy care is fixed, and zealously attendsTo fill thy odorous lamp with deeds of light, 10And hope that reaps not shame. Therefore be sureThou, when the Bridegroom with his feastful friendsPasses to bliss at the mid-hour of night,Hast gained thy entrance, Virgin wise, and pure.
