u Digitized by Google 258 THE FIRST BOOK OF Thus far the sportful Muse, with myrtle bound, Has sung where lovely lasses may be found. soo Now let me sing, how she, who wounds your mind.
With art may be to cure your wounds inclined.
Young nobles, to my laws attention lend ; And all you, vulgar of my school, attend.
First then believe, all women may be won ; S05 Attempt with confidence, the work is done.
The grasshopper shall first forbear to sing In summer season, or the birds in spring, Than wo...men can resist your flattering skill ; Even she will yield, who swears she never wilL sio To secret pleasure both the sexes move ; But women most, who most dissemble love.
'Twere best for us, if they would first declare.
Avow their passion, and submit to prayer.
The cow, by lowing, tells the bull her flame ; si5 The neighing mare invites her stallion to the game.
Man is more temperate in his lust than they, And more than women can his passion sway.
Byblis, we know, did first her love declare.
And had recourse to death in her despair.
