And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

Of ripening spices on the height of day:
As vigorous too.

Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.
