‘So spake our general mother, and with eyes

Of conjugal attraction unreprov’d,

And meek surrender, half-embracing lean’d

On our first father; half her swelling breast

Naked met his under the flowing gold

Of her loose tresses hid: he in delight

Both of her beauty and submissive charms;

Smil’d with superior love, as Jupiter

On Juno smiles, when he impregns the clouds

That shed May flowers.’
