      So Must The Sinewy Centaur Snort And Rea...

      So must the sinewy Centaur snort and rear , As some sweet maiden-mare trots wickedly Across his Pagan path , burning his very heart ; Flicking the flies from off her heaving flanks , The amorous flies who fill their lips with blood ;

      She And spreads while his her life cunning -blood riots heels in and his whisks hocks , her tail ; Then kicks the bitter sand into his eyes , Still gazing smarting on the supple form—For I have felt a joy new-born to pain !

      For I have seen that silken syren glide Across the desert , hight old Astley ' s Fane . Bare My breast -backed could before hardly timorous flutter as si she ht came nails Curved inward to my my palmsand such g ; a my sweet

      Soft tremor crept around my , nervous knees . I swooned but for the kindly guardian of the box , Who brought me welcome water at my wish , And damped my throbbing temples . On my bed

      I rolled and rioted in frenzied fret , For turn howe ' er I would , upon the walls , Across the sheets , the beauteous Ada rode , Scenting the air with black head-clustering hair , Loading the senses with soft-thrilling sighs . ;

      While through the rosy lips pale pearls of teeth Flashed hungrily . Strapped to her showy steed , She bites her charger in the side ,-till lips Run red with the brave beast ' s blood ; and as the sting Of her small fangs urges his wild career ,

      So this hot flame that ^ bb * chars me to the bones ' , Spreads out the fire of jealousy , and cries , Mazeppa flies across the sea to greet Great Athos-Porthos-Aramis
