Preparation.
Rose, thou art a sea of fervent serenity.
Thy gown over-sewn with velvet redolence
adorns preparation of petal-sweet nectar
in waves of coverted message.
Desire pervades like unction\'s therapy.
May the morrow\'s wed oil regale thy bedding
as thou maid in finery wait shyless and scented
with heady aroma drenched.
Thus now be thou readied for oneness
smelling of love
Arrive then timely Sir Knight with thine
ardour uncovered.
