Sea-born goddess, let me be br By thy son thus graced, and thee, br That whene'er I woo, I find br Virgins coy, but not unkind. br Let me, when I kiss a maid, br Taste her lips, so overlaid br With love's sirop, that I may br In your temple, when I pray, br Kiss the altar, and confess br There's in love no bitterness.
