Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life ...

Is ruby 'neath a bloom of blue.

Within which bounds she balm encloses,
Apt to entice a deity.

Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Shall this nectar
Run useless, then, to waste? or ... these lips,
That open like the morn, breathing perfumes,
On such as dare approach them, be untouch'd?
They must--nay, 'tis in vain to make resistance--
Be often kissed and tasted.

Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

And rosy little mouth to kiss;

As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

As fills the rose in which a fairy sleeps.
