Michael Scott's Wooing
From Sonnets and Verses for Rossetti's Own Works of Art
Mythology & Folklore
Rose-sheathed beside the rosebud tongue
Lurks the young adder's tooth;
Milk-mild from new-born hemlock-bluth
The earliest drops are wrung:
And sweet the flower of his first youth
When Michael Scott was young.
