Earthly delights come kindled by desire!
I said, and some retorted: Keen to see!
What most on earth indeed inflames the fire
Is paradisal sham credulity.
To the worst up-front hokum I then uttered
Some, leniently, responded right on cue.
The wheedling even waived my scruples muttered –
Bare truth compared to eyes that pertly blue!
Still ogling at the trinkets, my desire
Had all too soon a ball because of those;
In view of more, one must by force admire
The pertinence of conscionable pose.
If I deemed some were hot instead of plain
No blarney nor consent could have us rise –
For all our lust, on earth we would remain
And not be shown into some paradise.
