Pomegranates
by the Marchioness of Dorchester (circa 1650)
In orchards fair where scarlet gems doth bloom
Where pomegranates hung in rich perfume
There, a suitor bold,
Well endowed
With charms
And stories oft retold
Oh to taste the seeds of love,
Those rosey crimson buds
For he too now was hung,
As the pomegranates
Beneath the sun
His frame, a fortress of lust’s might,
His sturdy lance,
He takes perchance
Of any fair maid
Who brims desire
His pomegranates ripe and
Filled with fire
His presence stirs mine heart's
unquenchable thirst
As Eros gives with pure delight.
I dream of pomegranates
And of spice
