Still ere she reach it, from his polish'd side

Her trembling hands in devious Tangents glide.

Not thus Hyperbola:—with subtlest art

The blue-eyed wanton plays her changeful part;

Quick as her conjugated axes move

Through every posture of luxurious love,

Her sportive limbs with easiest grace expand;

Her charms unveil'd provoke the lover's hand:

Unveil'd, except in many a filmy ray,

Where light Asymptotes o'er her bosom play,
