Erotokitos and Aurostousa

When Greece their pagan gods forsook
And Cross as banner upward took
And eastern Rome this name did claim
Byzantine for which it's famed

Did many wonder's land possess
Then envied much by all the rest
But none so much as Greece's heir
Who many lands had deemed as fair

Beyond the words of mortal speech
For spoken tongue dared not beseech
Or ask her hand in fear affront
Is gave by words to harsh and brunt.

Unworthy prose too meager made,
To apt describe and tribute pay
To Aurostousa though benign
Like painting jewel this task you'd find

A poor attempt to garnish face
Already granted every grace
And needing not decor of words
At least those meager man has heard

From mortal mouths of fellow men
For none are found amongst their kin
To justice do to heiress form
Attempts would only meet with scorn.

But Aurostousa still did deign
To kind and gentle spirit claim
And many men her fairness heed
Although this act is lustful deed.

Alone did Erotokitos tame
And hand from any act refrain
Instead a subtler love he showed
When loyal service man bestowed

And kept betwixt them length declared
To be a right and proper air
For those possessing station twain
By time and place and birth then deigned.

But still as rest of Grecian kind
For Greece's heir he often pined...

But still as rest of Grecian kind For Greece's heir he often pined
