No ice so cold, so hard as I, Till warmed and softened by your eye; And now my heart dissolves away In dreams by night and sighs by day. No brutal passion fires my breast, Which loathes the object when possessed; But one of harmless, gentle kind, Whose joys are centred in the mind. Then take with me love's better part; His downy wing but not his dart.
