IN SPAIN
241
Me by Thine image, Lord, Thou hast
beguiled
Even in her sweet dress
To love Thy holiness:
Whoso conceived that figure undefiled
And did it to me show,
Is cause that I should so
Forget Thee a while: so be Thou
reconciled.
The other is set to a lovely air of Cam-
pion ’s:
Always I was, person and life, professed
Servant of one, nameless and unconfessed.
God’s was the deed when I was born to
love,
For His was the intent to send my ser-
vice and approve.
Lady, be kind to what you have long
possessed
And bring me soon to that glad hour that
may not be confessed.
When the Constable was wounded once
in a tourney, the poems that were writ
thereon would have filled a folio, but only
one is known to survive. Juan de Mena’s
Lover’s
