He spake; and cloth'd himself with subtle Air,
No Bow, no Darts, no Quiver did he bear.
To bright Bersaba bodied thus he flies,
And shoots himself by stealth into her Eyes.
The bright Bersaba felt him as he came,
Her rolling Eyes dart forth an am'rous flame.
Her Heart straight blushes with a secret Fire,
Her wanton Breast glows with a new Desire.
She tries all Arts that Woman's Wit can find,
And only Love fills now her lab'ring mind.
Sometimes her Curls on her soft Forehead play,
And here and there in various rollings stray.
Sometimes she seems her rising Breasts to chide,
And all the Riches of her Bosom hide.
Sometimes her Neck she openly displays.
And a fair Goddess by her Form betrays.
But in her Garden when to bath she goes,
And all around her naked Beauty shows,
Undrest so lovely, and so beauteous she,
Looks like a Venus rising from the Sea.
No Bow, no Darts, no Quiver did he bear.

And shoots himself by stealth into her Eyes.
