sonnet #1,586
You wont alight off coach take honest looks
At shadows cast by castle keep and moat
At goatherds guiding goats with cedar crooks
I must relate at length in words of note
The diamond queen aquiver sidling sooks
Aboard the barge in upper lock afloat
The diamond king ashiver ruffling rooks
Upon the bridge in lower lock bobbing boat
I know its near the end of pestilence
The river waters once again are pure
Theres less scabbed sores that victims hit endure
I praise your patient sceptics reticence
My lovely lean forth since my breath is hale
The mint mild or Ill roll then down your veil
Chorus hale robust vigorous
