Dieu! Qu'il La Fait - meaning Summary
Celebrating Irresistible Beauty
This short lyric celebrates a woman whose beauty and charm so captivate others that admiration becomes nearly involuntary. The speaker repeatedly invokes God as creator of her allure and emphasizes how her presence enchants people across places and classes. The tone is admiring and almost devotional, framing attraction as both communal and magical rather than personal possession. The poem emphasizes idealized beauty and its power to inspire wonder and desire.
Read Complete AnalysesGod! that mad'st her well regard her, How she is so fair and bonny; For the great charms that are upon her Ready are all folks to reward her. Who could part him from her borders When spells are alway renewed on her? God! that mad'st her well regard her, How she is so fair and bonny. From here to there to the sea's border, Dame nor damsel there's not any Hath of perfect charms so many. Thoughts of her are of dream's order: God! that mad'st her well regard her.
