My Coy Mistress

My coy mistress is comely
In every aspect proven complete
Well tutored from the home-front corner.

My coy mistress I owe a tender care
Obeying to the letter the command
Through thick and thing my love must cross.

My coy mistress and I as couple
To the long awaited moment we come
Making unbroken declaration before the congregation.

Congrats for your win. Was this inspired by a classic poem about coy mistresses? I seem to recall such a poem!!
