| [00:05.89] |
She lay all naked in her bed, |
| [00:08.77] |
And I myself lay by; |
| [00:11.19] |
No veil but curtains about her spread, |
| [00:14.74] |
No covering but I. |
| [00:18.02] |
Her head upon her shoulder seeks |
| [00:19.99] |
To hang in careless wise, |
| [00:21.93] |
And full of blushes were her cheeks, |
| [00:24.76] |
And of wishes were her eyes. |
| [00:28.19] |
Her blood still fresh into her face, |
| [00:30.61] |
As on a message came, |
| [00:32.43] |
To say that in another place |
| [00:34.51] |
It meant another game. |
| [00:37.38] |
Her cherry lip moist, plump and fair, |
| [00:40.21] |
Millions of kisses crown, |
| [00:42.83] |
Which ripe and uncropt dangled there, |
| [00:45.97] |
And weighed the branches down. |
| [00:48.99] |
Her breasts, that welled so plump and high |
| [00:52.78] |
Bread pleasant pain in me. |
| [00:55.76] |
For all the world I do defy |
| [00:57.53] |
The like felicity; |
| [00:59.40] |
Her thighs and belly, soft and fair, |
| [01:02.43] |
To me were only shown: |
| [01:04.94] |
To have seen such meat, and not to eat, |
| [01:09.01] |
Would anger any stone. |
| [01:12.65] |
Her knees lay upward gently bent, |
| [01:15.98] |
And all lay hollow under, |
| [01:18.66] |
As if on easy terms, they meant |
| [01:20.83] |
To fall unforced asunder; |
| [01:24.95] |
Just so the Cyprian Queen did lie, |
| [01:27.52] |
Expecting in her bower, |
| [01:29.58] |
When too long stay had kept the boy |
| [01:31.97] |
Beyond his promised hour. |
| [01:34.84] |
"Dull clown," quoth she, "Why dost delay |
| [01:38.38] |
Such proffered bliss to take? |
| [01:41.40] |
Canst thou find out no other way |
| [01:43.47] |
Similitudes to make?" |
| [01:46.13] |
Mad with delight I, thundering, |
| [01:48.04] |
Throw my arms about her, |
| [01:51.25] |
But pox upon't 'twas but a dream. |
| [01:56.14] |
And so I lay without her. |
| [01:58.65] |
