            THE BLIND FOREST
            
            The lady's body is a forest blind,
            
              With dangerous hills, her bosom fair;
            
            Think not to wander there, my mind;
            
              The robber, Love, is lurking there.

Brough

            
            If the forest of her hair 
            
            Calls you to explore the land, 
            
            And her breasts, those mountains fair,
            
            Tempt that mountaineer, your hand –
            
              Stop! before it is too late:
            
              Love, the brigand, lies in wait.

More

            
            XXII 
            
            O Wanderer Heart! avoid that haunted grove, 
            
            The body of thy love;
            
            Nor in her bosom stray, wild mountain fells
            
            Where Love, the robber, dwells.
