HAVE I CAUGHT YOU AT LAST?
VENUS'S FLYTRAP.
105
Have I caught you at last, gentle rover?
Do I see you at length at my feet?
Will you own yourself, sighing, my lover?
This triumph is sudden as sweet!
Do I see you at length at my feet?
Will you own yourself, sighing, my lover?
This triumph is sudden as sweet!
Long vainly I strove to allure him;
That tender endeavour is past;
My task must be now, to endure him!
Heighho! but I've caught him at last!
That tender endeavour is past;
My task must be now, to endure him!
Heighho! but I've caught him at last!
