The first commerce is, and the next command.

Gone she is a long, long way,

Back to come, and make no stay:
So we keep, till her return,
Here, her ashes, or her urn.

850. THE DELAYING BRIDE.
Why so slowly do you move
To the centre of your love?
On your niceness[1] though we wait,
Yet the hours say 'tis late:
Coyness takes us, to a measure;
But o'eracted deads the pleasure.
Go to bed, and care not when
Cheerful day shall spring again.
One brave captain did command,
By his word, the sun to stand:
To the centre of your love?
On your niceness[1] though we wait,
Yet the hours say 'tis late:
Coyness takes us, to a measure;
But o'eracted deads the pleasure.
Go to bed, and care not when
Cheerful day shall spring again.
One brave captain did command,
By his word, the sun to stand:
- ↑ Niceness, delicacy.
