The seal Love’s dimpling finger
hath impressed
Denotes how soft that chin which
bears his touch:
Her lips, whose kisses pout to leave
their nest,
Bid man be valiant ere he merit
such:
Her glance, how wildly beautiful!
how much
Hath Phoebus wooed in vain to spoil
her cheek
Which glows yet smoother from his
amorous clutch!
Who round the North for paler dames
would seek?
How poor their forms appear? how languid, wan, and
weak!
