26o THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF |

THOMAS PARNELL (1679-1717)
WHEN YOUR BEAUTY APPEARS
"T T THEN your beauty appears, Y\ In its graces and airs,
All bright as an angel new dropt from the skies; At distance 1 gaze and am awed by my fears, So strangely you dazzle my eyes !
"But when without art
Your kind thoughts you impart, When your love runs in blushes through every vein
When it darts from your eyes, when it pants at your heart, Then I know you are woman again."
"There's a passion and pride
In our sex," she replied; " And thus (might I gratify both) I would do.—
Still an angel appear to each lover beside But still be a lover to you." |
