E'en dragon huge, or flaming steer,

When Jason's loved will cause no fear.

Duennas, grating, bolt and lock,

All obstacles can naught avail;

Constraint is but a stumbling block;

For youthful ardour must prevail.

Girls are precocious nowadays,

Look at the men with ardent gaze,

And longings' an infinity;

Trim misses but just in their teens
