Won't you help support DayPoems? To Roses in the Bosom of CastaraBy William Habington1605-1654YE blushing virgins happy are In the chaste nunnery of her breasts-- For he'd profane so chaste a fair, Whoe'er should call them Cupid's nests. Transplanted thus how bright ye grow! How rich a perfume do ye yield! In some close garden cowslips so Are sweeter than i' th' open field. In those white cloisters live secure From the rude blasts of wanton breath!-- Each hour more innocent and pure, Till you shall wither into death. Then that which living gave you room, Your glorious sepulchre shall be. There wants no marble for a tomb Whose breast hath marble been to me. DayPoems Poem No. 297 Comment on DayPoems?
