Shafts by which my heart has bled;

As the countless stores that still

All his golden quiver fill.

Whispered plaints, and wanton wiles,

Speeches soft, and soothing smiles,

Teeth-imprinted, tell-tale blisses,

Intermix with all thy kisses.

So, when zephyr’s breezy wing

Wafts the balmy breath of spring,

Turtles thus their loves repeat,
