Grandpa Pencil's Works of the great poets William Shakespeare Venus and Adonis 18

'Over my altars hath he Hung his lance,
His batter'd shield, his uncontrolled crest,
And for my sake hath learn'd to sport and dance,
To toy, to wanton, dally, smile, and jest;
Scorning his churlish drum and ensign red,
Making my arms his field, his tent my bed.
