incense

Here four o'clocks, to the passionate night above

Fling whiffs of perfume, like pale incense showers.

A little garden, loved with a great love!

It seems as though the garden which you love

Were like a swinging censer, its incense

Floating before us as a reverent act

The cawing birds above,

The air, the incense of the ground,

Are whispering, breathing love.

Upon the altar lay my willing body.

And pile your wclod up, fling your holy incense;

And, as I turn me, you shall see all flame.

Thy Name, O Christ, as incense streaming forth

Sweetens our names before God’s Holy Face;

And, Gaveston, uliless thou be reclaimed,

As then I did incense the parliament.

So will I now, and thou shalt back to France.

Who sees it grants some deity there is shrouded.

An altar takes men's incense and oblation,

An altar made after the ancient fashion. 10

Lan, My lord, why do you thus incense your peers.

That naturally would love and honour you
