Another Poem to Venus




Here, in this poem, I again write to the Roman goddess, Venus. Venus was known as Aphrodite to the ancient Greeks. I frequently use the Roman names of gods as they were the names used by most writers in Medieval English literature. 



Venus, your beauty does blind the sun

Your caring charm is inferior to none

In all of your sweet splendor,  

You do find grace for those under.


Jupiter has long desired you for wife

Indeed, none can resist your sight

For you, the gods will fight

each is tested by his might


At your first appearance

I did adore you in an instance

You are the golden prize of Mount Olympias

For you, I will go the great and long distance


I do wonder when

your grace I will win
