Droop the long eyelids, purple with young blood,

The lazy lashes and the flowing mane,

The flame of fire from head to feet of me!

The subtle fervours, drunken heats and ways,

And perfumes maddening from the soul of spring!

The little nipples, and the dangerous pit

Set smiling in the alabaster; thine,

The glowing arms are thine, the desperate

Fresh kisses, and the gold that lurks upon

The sunny skin, the marble of these brows,
