Rosalynde - T. Lodge

16 Rosalynde
The sixteenth poem in the collection. (* additional details below; after my initial, un-schooled, interpretation)

NOTES FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK:
"Readers who have visited Italy will be reminded of more than one picture by this gorgeous Vision of Beauty, equally sublime and pure in its Paradisaical naturalness. Lodge wrote it on a voyage to "the Islands of Terceras and the Canaries"; and he seems to have caught, in those southern seas, no small portion of the qualities which marked the almost contemporary Art of Venice,—the glory and the glow of Veronese, or Titian, or Tintoret, when he most resembles Titian, and all but surpasses him.

The clear: is the crystalline or outermost heaven of the old cosmography. For resembling other copies give refining: the correct reading is perhaps revealing.

For a fair there's fairer none: If you desire a Beauty, there is none more beautiful than Rosalynde."
