Wooed the soft mortal tremulously yielding

All her enchantments to the mighty victor—

Happy Ariadne!

There will I, dearest, every frown abandon;

Nor do thou fear, nor hesitate to press me,

Since, if I chide, 'tis but a girl's reproval,

Faintly reluctant.

Doubt not I love thee, whether I return thy

Kisses in delight, or avert demurely

Lips that in truth burn to be kissed the closer,
