ALL that a man can say of woman's charms, / Mine eyes have spoken and my lips have told / To you a thousand times. Your perfect arms / (A replica from that lost Melos mould), / The fair firm crescents of your bosom (shown / With full intent to make their splendours known),
Your eyes (that mask with innocence their smile), / The (artful) artlessness of all your ways, / Your kiss-provoking mouth, its lure, its guile- / All these have had my fond and frequent praise. / And something more than praise to you I gave- / Something which made you know me as your slave.
