The First Book of Martial, Epigram 58
You ask, dear Car , what mistress I would chufe?
Not one too strictly coy, nor yet too loose;
Whose unaffected character would prove
Like Delia modest, yet a friend to love;
No prudish air to damp the genial joy,
And charms enough to satisfy, — not cloy.
Not one too strictly coy, nor yet too loose;
Whose unaffected character would prove
Like Delia modest, yet a friend to love;
No prudish air to damp the genial joy,
And charms enough to satisfy, — not cloy.
