Thus from her Hand he mounts to th' Lips, from whence
Snatch'd Cordial food with sober violence;
Restoratives; as after that long Fast
Would eat, devour: took Second, Third Repast;

Well shrouded so her Bashful Cheeks (uncloy'd)
By numb'ring more, till Ten for Seal enjoy'd:
How could she cross, Deny? one might suppose
Her Lips Blush'd too, since prest so oft by Those.
