And flared in the air like a flame;

Bare-breasted, bare-browed and bare-throated—

Too smooth for the soothliest name.

She wiles you with wine, and wrings for you

Ripe juices of citron and grape;

She lifts up her lute and sings for you

Till the soul of you seeks no escape;

And you revel and reel with mad laughter,

And fall at her feet, at her beck,

And the scar of her sandal thereafter
