TO GELLIUS.

How shall I (Gellius!) tell what way lips rosy as thine are
Come to be bleached and blanched whiter than wintry snow,
When as thou quittest the house a-morn, and at two after noon-tide
Roused from quiet repose, wakest for length of the day?
Certès sure am I not an Rumour rightfully whisper
. . . . . . .
