Excerpt from The Romance of Sir Richard: Sonnets and Other Poems To Miss Louise Skead. As, in old time, the tempest-scorners set Their ship's keen prow into the golden rain Of eve, and ventured o'er the unkeeled main To under lands, and myriad dangers met From savage hordes and coasts the waves that fret, That they might gold and sunborn gems obtain For their belovèd Queen, her smiles to gain, And her thanks won, their hardships did forget: So I have ventured over thought's vast seas Into the land of visions, deeming sweet Long hours of sunless toil, if I might reach, And bring, as my love-tribute, to thy feet, At last, the gold of thought and gems of speech, Paid by thy thanks, Imperial Louise.
