John Dryden - Lines In A Letter To His Lady Cousin, Honor Driden, Who Had Given Him A Silver Inkstand, With A Set Of Writing Materials, 1655

For since 'twas mine, the white hath lost its hue, br To show 'twas ne'er it self but whilst in you, br The virgin wax hath blushed it self to red br Since it with me hath lost its maidenhead. br You, fairest nymph, are wax: O, may you be br As well in softness as in purity! br Till fate and your own happy choice reveal br Whom you shall so far bless to make your seal.
