The poet has written this poem in the praise of his lady love who is more than above all a Nature’s cabinet storing all blissful things of life in one.
To her lover, she is the goddess of praise or her deity. He explains that even the sweet voice of the early birds singing should be to serve as music to the ears of her Valentine whom he loves more than anything. He thinks heavenly about her love so much as to employ the wood-nymphs to sing for her as a duty.
To him, she is the most perfect beauty on this earth; is fairest of all and has an inner self that is even more beautiful. He finds her innocent, holy and full of virtues. He feels that her lap is a paradise and her eyes are a heavenly abode. He thinks that she is imbibed with everything perfect that can exist. In all, he finds nothing that matches the qualities of his lady love.
He continues her praise for the lady love and dignifies her as the nature’s storehouse of all the charm, beauty, intelligence and cheerfulness. Her beauty and her inner qualities make her so graceful that they will definitely leave anyone impressed and influenced.
