THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 43 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: NOW PASSION HATH HIM IN HER SILKEN SNARE
Last Line: HIS LEAPING THOUGHTS HAVE SET HIS HEART AFIRE.
Subject(s): DESIRE; HEARTS; LOVE; PASSION;
Now Passion hath him in her silken snare,
Now dwells he on her bosom's ripening charm,
Now riots in the luxury of her hair,
Now thrills along each lily-cinctured arm,
Now trembles at the bliss that circles near,
Now cools, now burns—no moment ever calm.
Till, fann'd by the fierce winds of gaunt desire,
His leaping thoughts have set his heart afire.
