The Land of Love

A poem [by Aphra Behn]
  

expand section 

Love smiling, spread his Wings, and mounting flies,
As swift as Lightning, thro' the yielding Skies,
Where Honour bore away the trembling Prize.
When at her Feet the little Charmer falls,
And to his Aid his pow'rful Softness calls;
Assails her with his Tears, his Sighs, and trys
Th'unfailing Language of his Tongue and Eyes.
