Like sparkling champagne, Rosy mounts to the brain. And so tingles in every part: Her fire comes so quick, Her shots fly so thick No quarter she gives to the heart. Fidelia demure, More slow but as sure, Her mischief will greatly impart; Will day after day Steal your senses away, And then steal away with your heart. But I who knw both, To one should be loth, So manage the matter with art: I laugh at the trick Of the slow and the quick, And then steal away with your heart.
