THAT marvellous Device, which once
did place
Love's Reache beyond contingencies of
Space
Which freed, not merely Sprite,
but e'en the Flesh
To shrink vast Oceans, and as
t'were to Mesh
(Though quite Alone was knit Love's tender
Knotte)
With mingled Sighes Ek-statical,
and Hotte;
-- Alas! 'Tis broke! And now my Mistress
must
With Nature's own Devices sate
her Lust!
Yet could my humble Flesh, with
lightest Hand
Whipped up to Frenzie, (which
but now doth Stand
To signal Sympathie) attend thy
Bedde
-- Though thou protest t'was thence forever
ban'd!
I vouch 'twou'd serve to Soothe your
Nerves instedde
Now your Vibrator's Mute, and
Stille, and Dedde.
