4. Stanzas for Comprehension
1. Morocco
Mislike me not for my complexion,
The shadow'd livery of the burnished sun,
To whom I am a neighbour and near bred.
Bring me the fairest creature northward born,
Where Phoebus' fire scarce thaws the icicles,
And let us make incision for your love,
To prove whose blood is reddest, his or mine.
I tell thee, lady, this aspect of mine
Hath feared the valiant : by my love, I swear,
The best regarded virgins of our clime
Hath loved it too : I would not change this hue,
Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen,
(1) To what does Morocco attribute his dark complexion ?​
