Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks

Round from his parted forelock manly hung

Clust’ring, but not beneath his shoulders broad;

She as a veil down to the slender waist

Her unadorned golden tresses wore

Dishevell’d, but in wanton ringlets wav’d

As the vine curls her tendrils, which implied

Subjection, but required with gentle sway,

And by her yielded, by him best receiv’d,

Yielded with coy submission, modest pride,
