A TWINTORETTE

Ho! my little maiden

With the glossy tresses,

Come thou and dance with me

A measure all divine;

Let my breast be laden

With but thy caresses—

Come thou and glancingly

Mate thy face with mine.

Thou shalt trill a rondel,

While my lips are purling

Some dainty twitterings

Sweeter than the birds’;

And, with arms that fondle

Each as we go twirling,

We will kiss, with titterings,

Lisps and loving words.
