Anthea bade me tie her shoe;
I did ; and kissed the instep too:
And would have kissed unto her knee,
Had not her blush rebuked me.
I did ; and kissed the instep too:
And would have kissed unto her knee,
Had not her blush rebuked me.

Upon The ******* Of Julia’s Breast
Have ye beheld (with much delight)A red rose peeping through a white?
Divination By A Daffodil
When a daffodil I see,Hanging down his head towards me,
Upon Julia’s *******
Display thy *******, my Julia—there let meBehold that circummortal purity,
Another (Here A Pretty Baby Lies)
Here a pretty baby liesSung asleep with lullabies:
Her Legs
Fain would I kiss my Julia’s dainty leg,Which is as white and hairless as an egg.
