My being won’t delay;
Inspired by Thy love, could I,
Thy noble tribute stay?

Now, while ’tis open still,
This golden moment I’d redeem,
Thy house with fragrance fill.

Would offer as I ought.

But fully consecrate
“Beforehand”, lest I miss my chance,
And risk arriving late.

Performing love’s sweet task,
While time doth still permit,
I break mine alabaster flask
And Thine own love requit.
