david polk - Gaea

To fools and wise man
She endows sultry gifts
ALover to all men….
Bitter sweet, sweet bitter nector sipped

Less her brood squander there female muse
Of sustaining pow..er'r her beauty she doth lose
Gentle mother to foe and friend
tempt she sever the suckling chord
Least we be weaned
