> On thy withered lips and dry,
> Which like barren furrows lie,

> Shall thy youthful heart restore,
> Such kind show'rs in autumn fall,
> And a second spring recall;

> Thy nobler parts, which but to name
> In our sex would be counted shame,
> By ages frozen grasp possest,
> From their ice shall be released,
> And, soothed by my reviving hand,
> In former warmth and vigour stand.
> All a lover's wish can reach,
> For thy joy my love shall teach;
> And for thy pleasure shall improve
> All that art can add to love.
> Yet still I love thee without art,
> Ancient Person of my heart.
