The Fair Lady of the Night

Many a Damsel, I have seen
Homely, cultured yet learned.
With beauty that had fair Venus
Died of envy
None compares to Onila
Whose beauty eclipses all others

Many a belle I have met
With courage matching Virginia 
Great mother of noble Coriolanus 
Unflinching amazon in a patriarchal millieu
Poor Andromeda might have found her match
In Onila, fairest among virgins

Many nymphs I have heard
Have benevolent sprites as their guards
Mighty Ariel for Pope's Bellinda 
Onila; yours a mystery
To Mount Olympus, I have been 
In a bid to seek the help of the gods
Inexplicable as it might sound 
Mighty Zeus, answers yet deny

Pure Onila, in the words of
My mentor Donne
Let not thy divining heart 
Forethink me any ill;
To this piece the muses have lent voice
To speak to thy hearing
Of my heart desires
If thou art Venus
Make me thy Adonis
I seek nothing but thy Love...
