Diana’s bosom, Flora’s cheeks, + 

Are admirable, my dear friend, + 

But yet Terpsichore bespeaks + 

Charms more enduring in the end. + 

For promises her feet reveal + 

Of untold gain she must conceal, + 

Their privileged allurements fire + 

A hidden train of wild desire. + 

I love them, O my dear Elvine, + 

Beneath the table-cloth of white, + 

In winter on the fender bright, + 

In springtime on the meadows green, + 

Upon the ball-room’s glassy floor + 

Or by the ocean’s rocky shore. + 
