First Line: Yes, iris, whilst you're lovely you'll excite
Last Line: The years how many, when they're lost and past.


YES, Iris, whilst you're lovely you'll excite
Desire, devotion, transports, and delight;
Yet think, how few the years your charms can last,
The years how many, when they're lost and past.
