Seeks with spread hands the bosom's velvet orbs.

With closing lips the milky fount absorbs;

And, as compress'd the dulcet streams distil,

Drinks warmth and fragrance from the living rill;—

Eyes with mute rapture every waving line,

Prints with adoring kiss the Paphian shrine,

35

And learns erelong, the perfect form confess'd,

Ideal Beauty from its mother's breast.
