The Pearl/Volume 7/The Swing.

How oft I've sworn to Caroline, The world no sight can show, To match her locks, her lips divine, Her bosom's hills of snow.

But oh! I find myself forsworn, Two lips I have beheld; Still lovelier, on this happy morn, A mount that those excell'd!

For chance has shewn me all that lies Beneath her virgin zone; Sure never seen by any eyes Of man, save mine alone!

As o'er my face the swing I drove, As wider flew her thighs; The opening heaven itself o' love Met my delighted eyes!

Her bosom boasts no swell so fair No tints that these eclipse; Her head has no such auburn hair, Nor such enchanting lips!

Yes I've beheld the mossy mount, Where all the graces centre; I've seen the rosy, nectar'd fount, Where he she loves shall enter!

While from within her petticoat, A warm and savoury breeze, Full in my face, would sweetly float, Loaded with ecstasies!

Then be not wrath my matchless maid, Nor blush so deep with shame; Nor I attack'd nor you betray'd, Let chance then bear the blame!

Oh pardon me, and I'll confess, That henceforth when I gaze Upon the beauties of thy face, My fancy elsewhere strays!

Then if a reddy conscious blush, Thy angel forehead warms; Upon our souls the hour shall rush. That shew'd thy inmost charms.

There was a young lady of Harwich, Who said on the morn of her marriage: "I shall sew my chemise, Right down to my knees, For I'm damned if I fuck in the carriage!"
