Sits on thy skin like morning dew,

And while thy willing soul transpires

At every pore with instant fires,

Now let us sport us while we may;

And now, like amorous birds of prey,

Rather at once our time devour,

Than languish in his slow-chapp’d pow’r.

Let us roll all our strength, and all

Our sweetness, up into one ball;

And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
