Then with thy sultry locks all loose and rude,
And mantle laced with gems of garish light,
Come as of wont; for I would fain intrude,
And in the world's despite,
Share the rude mirth that thy own heart beguiles:
If haply so I might
Win pleasure from thy smiles,
Me not the noise of brawling pleasure cheers,
In nightly revels or in city streets;
But joys which soothe, and not
distract
the ears,
That one at leisure meets
In the green woods, and meadows summer-shorn,
Or fields, where bee-fly greets
The ears with mellow horn.

Behold her, daughter of a

Tameless, with the bold falcon's agile grace,
And the lithe tiger's sinuous majesty.
