-"Twas I whose fingers did draw up the young / Plant of your body: to me you looked e'er sprung / The secret of the moon within your eyes! / My mouth you met before your fine red mouth / Was set to song--and never your song denies / My love, till you went south."

-"Twas I who placed the bloom of manhood on / Your youthful smoothness: I fleeced where fleece was none / Your fervent limbs with flickers and tendrils of new / Knowledge; I set your heart to its stronger beat; / I put my strength upon you, and I threw / My life at your feet."
