Fragment from a decorative page presents a lyric plea for affection and beauty. A male voice asks a muse to sing of youth, love, and desire, invoking tenderness, fervent longing, and the ache of passion amid nature and divine imagery. The archaic diction and torn text resemble a poem or prose meditation.
