Or as on Alpine cliffs, a wounded doe

Sheds all its purple life upon the snow;

So the maid blushes, while her humble eyes

Fear from a knot of primroses to rise;

And mute she sits, affecting to repair

The discomposed meanders of her hair.

Need I his arts unfold? The accomplish'd guile

That glosses poisonous words with gilded smile?

The tear suborned, the tongue complete to please;

Eyes ecstasied, idolatry of knees?
