He prayeth best who loveth best All things both great and small For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.

Poets of Great Renown
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
and William Wordsworth were
eighteenth-nineteenth Century
British Poets of renown...
they collaborated in fine
lyrical ballad style, both
loving the rhythm and rhyme
of Shakespeare, his sonnets
and his plays.
In seventeen ninety six
Wordsworth and Coleridge met,
becoming 'poetry' friends,
but sadly with time their
friendship ended.
I quote just four lines from their
lengthy poem of imagination..
The Ancient Mariner.
'He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small
For the dear God who loveth us
He made ~ and loveth all'

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Loveth
Submit to my request like,
The floods upon the dry lands;
For i am drunk in your love and,
You are aii that i need, Loveth.
Of the thirteenth letter of the alphabet and,
Of the thirteenth day of my birth;
And of the day for a year and,
A week for seven years!
Loveth, the elephant is now back to the bush and,
Youneed my sweet love to let you grow.
The cat and the lizard know our love,
And they want us to become as one;
But, the alarm-clock is hidden in us.
There is love in the atmosphere and,
The canoes and the boats do wait for us;
So try to take a view on this love and,
Let us swim together in this ocean of love.

Though that Men do Call it Dotage
1 Though that men do call it dotage,
2 Who loveth not wanteth courage;
3 And whosoever may love get,
4 From Venus sure he must it fet
5 Or else from her which is her heir,
6 And she to him must seem most fair.
7 With eye and mind doth both agree.
8 There is no boot: there must it be.
9 The eye doth look and represent,
10 But mind afformeth with full consent.
11 Thus am I fixed without grudge:
12 Mine eye with heart doth me so judge.
13 Love maintaineth all noble courage.
14 Who love disdaineth is all of the village:
15 Such lovers--though they take pain--
16 It were pity they should obtain,
17 For often times where they do sue
18 They hinder lovers that would be true.
19 For whoso loveth should love but once.
20 Change whoso will, I will be none.

Twentieth Century Mariner
All quotations from 'The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner' by
Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
I oft wondered why
under cold grey overcast;
west coast coastal hometown sky.
I never met a mystic man
with glittering hypnotic inner eye;
whose beard was experience hoar with age.
Who would teach me tiding things
fever pitch, storm tossed, born within me;
inflamed, I needed, sought to know.
For me there was not, could never be,
no third stopped meeting an ‘ancient Mariner’; (1.)
like ‘three years child’ way laid ‘Wedding-Guest’. (15.)
But then where was ‘Storm-Blast’ windswept, (41.)
such fabled ship wrecked need;
for I was that ‘ancient ill- fated
Mariner’; and as unto ‘a Christian soul’ God; (65.)
was that searing pain burning in my brain.
That taught me like an Albatross’s flight,
all ‘helmsman steered’ I, fog-smoke white, ’ (70.) (77.)
fate sought needed to lifetime know.
And all my long life I ‘lamp gleamed white; ’ lived (207.)
‘Alone on a wide wide sea! ’ ‘My soul in agony.' (233.) (235.)
And to our ‘great Father’ ‘God himself’ (607.) (599.)
have I oft been conscience forced;
to bend a youthful, penitent knee.
For perhaps it is my utmost penance,
to seek such blessed spiritual reverence,
as to love all creatures ‘great and small.’ (615.)
‘For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.’ (616-17.)
For my ‘dear God’ has said (616.)
and Coleridge hath said
such men ‘prayeth best,
who loveth best’ of all. (614.)
I praise and humbly ‘in God’s name’ (66.)
thank a loving forgiving God;
who through his created; ‘strange power of speech; ’ (587.)
elemental fundamental universal principle;
men unknowing calleth chance;
lead me to glittering inspired ‘Hermit’ revelation. (499.)
Which I must utter as strange answer,
to ‘pass, like night from land to land; ’ (586.)
bespoken as ‘tale’ testament, inscribed encoded here.
Coincidence met; is thee strange way ‘I teach’; (590.)
in which my eternal; ever Lord master walks.
I follow heaven sent, sought signs ‘I see’, (588.)
pertaining to his purposed passage;
heaven sourced, and sing his hosannas,
in incumbent works, thus written here.
Numerous reluctant past prophets
also, blazed their personalized trail.
With marker stone prophetic words
signaling, their fevered benediction.
Yet more after my precursor passage
shall, survive to favoured flotsam follow.
Still others will fall upon fabled wayside
through, world epochs as yet uncharted.
Behold contemporary mariner
walking, in throng bulwark midst;
and chance bound spellcast met;
‘at an uncertain hour, ’ know it; (582.)
yet recognize not that that man thou met;
you, ‘man that must hear me: ’ (589.)
not until message faced be spoken.

A Robyn, Jolly Robyn
A Robyn,
Jolly Robyn,
Tell me how thy leman doeth,
And thou shalt knowe of myn.
'My lady is unkynde, perde.'
Alack! why is she so?
'She loveth an other better than me;
And yet she will say no.'
I fynde no such doublenes;
I fynde women true;
My lady loveth me dowtles,
And will change for no newe.
'Thou art happy while that deeth last:
But I say, as I fynde,
That women's love is but a blast,
And torneth with the wynde.'
Suche folkes can take no harme by love,
That can abide their torn.
'But I alas can no way prove
In love, but lake and morne.'
But if thou wilt avoyde thy harme,
Lerne this lessen of me:
At others fieres thy selfe to warme,
And let them warme with the.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
As the sands of the desert are to the weary traveler, so are words to he who loveth silence.
Whosover loveth wisdom is righteous, but he that keepeth company with fowl is weird.
