It probably turns on whether or not that "you" is grammatically
_feminine_, which is all I'm asking (no deep questions from me this late, if
ever!).
but isn't the seated figure ("How like a god HE

Well, yes, it's that "implicitly female" I'm questioning. Obviously, the
"he" is one--but isn't it possible that the "you" over whom "he" is drooling
is also a "he"?
