My arching lashes, yellow hair,
Wide-eyed glances, pretty ones,
That took in the cleverest there:
Nose not too big or small: a pair
Of

Dimpled: a face oval and fair,
Lovely lips with crimson skin?

Sonnets Pour Helene Book II: XLII
In these long winter nights when the idle Moon
Steers her chariot so slowly on its way,
When the cockerel so tardily calls the day,
When night to the troubled soul seems years through:
I would have died of misery if not for you,
In shadowy form, coming to ease my fate,
Utterly naked in my arms, to lie and wait,
Sweetly deceiving me with a
specious

For wives to use the motions of blandishment;

Herself she treats the Venus of the man
With haunches heaving, and with all her bosom
Now yielding like the billows of the sea--

She throws the furrow, and from proper places
Deflects
