Parthenophil and Parthenophe - Part 63

Jove for EUROPA's love took shape of Bull;
And for CALISTO played DIANA's part;
And in a golden shower he filled full
The lap of DANAE, with celestial art.
Would I were changed but to my Mistress' gloves,
That those white lovely fingers I might hide!
That I might kiss those hands, which mine heart loves!
Or else that chain of pearl (her neck's vain pride)
Made proud with her neck's veins, that I might fold
About that lovely neck, and her paps tickle!
Or her to compass like a belt of gold!
Or that sweet wine which down her throat doth trickle,
To kiss her lips and lie next at her heart,
Run through her veins, and pass by Pleasure's part!
