"JULIA, YOUNG WANTON, FLUNG THE GATHER'D SNOW", by                    
Last Line: "with water which thou kindlest, quench with fire"
Subject(s): Desire


JULIA, young wanton, flung the gather'd snow,
Nor fear'd I burning from the wat'ry blow:
'Tis cold, I cry'd, but ah! too soon I found,
Sent by that hand it dealt a scorching wound.

Resistless fair! we fly thy power in vain,
Who turn'st to fiery darts the frozen rain;
Burn, Julia, burn like me, and that desire
With water which thou kindlest, quench with fire.
