A poem by William Johnson Cory

In Honour Of Matthew Prior

________________________________________________
Title:     In Honour Of Matthew Prior
Author: William Johnson Cory [More Titles by Cory]

("Ionica," 1877)

I am Her mirror, framed by him
Who likes and knows her. On my rim
No fret, no bead, no lace.
He tells me not to mind the scorning
Of every semblance of adorning,
Since I receive Her face.

Sept. 1877.
