Mart. Epigr. 46. Lib. 8.

Quanta tua est Probitas, quanta est praestantia formae, &c.

CHarming Alexis, is so sweet a Boy, To look on him, is more than to enjoy. No Blushes yet did ever grace, A more bewitching modest Face. Whene're I see the lively Red, His tender Cheeks o'respread, Methinks they do invite me to a Kiss: Yet seem to say, that I must struggle for the Bliss. The Youth that did the Mighty Thund'rer move, Had never Eyes more fraught with Love. He that with Lightning cou'd the World destroy, Stoop'd to the Flames of his dear lovely Boy. How then can wretched I, Whom all the pangs of Love do thus enrage, Forbear to try Whether Alexis won't my panting pains asswage?
