Do you remember once, in Paris of glad faces,
The night we wandered off under the third moon's rays
I am, outside. Incredible panic rules.
People are blowing and beating each other without mercy.
My wife and I lived all alone,
contention was our only bone.
Goddesse of Nimphs, and honour of thy kinde,
This Age's Phoenix, Beautie's richest bower.
Your laughter is light, your caress deep, Your cold kisses love the harm they do;
I remember . . . (at what hour of the day do I not have her in my sight?)--I remember
And her heart, as I thought,
Was alive to my passion;
The storm lasted all night. Selenis, with her lovely hair, came to spin with me. She stayed for fear of
I have robbed the garrulous streets, Thieved a fair girl from their blight,
Please don't burn our shit-house down,
Mother has promised to pay.&nbs
It’s as pleasing to me as, they say,
that golden apple was to the swift girl,
Hide not that sprouting lipp, nor kill
The juicy bloome with bashfull skill:
JOHN courts Perrette; but all in vain;
Love's sweetest oaths, and tears, and sighs
My brunette with the golden eyes, your ivory body, your amber Has left bright reflections in the room
DEAD man! will you ride with me,
As you rode that night of yore,
Prolong the night, Goddess who sets us aflame! Hold back from us the golden-sandalled dawn!
BY master Francis clearly 'tis expressed:
The folks of Papimania are blessed;
THE husband's dire mishap, and silly maid,
In ev'ry age, have proved the fable's aid;
BELOW, the street was hoarse with cries,
With groan of carts and scuffling feet,
When bashfull daylight now was gone
And night, that hides a blush, came on.
On Nungar the mists of the morning hung low,
The beetle-browed hills brooded silent and black,
PRONE, on my couch I calmly slept
Against my wont. A little child
I'M now disposed to give a pretty tale;
Love laughs at what I've sworn and will prevail;
AS WILLIAM walking with his wife was seen,
A man of rank admired her lovely mien.
NO easy matter 'tis to hold,
Against its owner's will, the fleece
Wean'd from my will, and thus by tryall taughte
Howe farr to hould all fortune in regarde;
What is better than leaving a bar
in the middle of the afternoon
That she forcèd not his harmes
Her bewtye's power to prove.
The snow lies deep on hill and dale,
In rocky gulch and grassy vale,
IN Eastern climes, by means considered new;
The Mount's old-man, with terrors would pursue;
