Admired Miranda!
Admired Miranda!
Indeed the top of admiration! worth
What's dearest to the world! Full many a lady
I have eyed with best regard and many a time
The harmony of their tongues hath into bondage
Brought my too diligent ear: for several virtues
Have I liked several women; never any
With so fun soul, but some defect in her
Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed
And put it to the foil: but you, O you,
So perfect and so peerless, are created
Of every creature's best!
Commentary
I was going through the minstrels archive sometime back and saw a whole lot of Tempest lying there (forgive the pun). Just remembered that there were some lines that were missing from the collection. As in, when someone mentions The Tempest to me, those lines just strike me each time. Here they are. I mean, if ever some lover tried to flatter his beloved with words, he would be well advised to take a peep at these lines first.
