Grandpa Pencil's Works of the great poets The Passionate Pilgrim William Shakespeare 4

Sweet Cytherea, sitting by a brook
With young Adonis, lovely, fresh and green,
Did court the lad with many a lovely look,
Such looks but none could look but beauty's queen
She told him stories to delight his ear;
She showed him favours to delight his eye;
To win his heart she touch'd him here and there:
Touches so soft still conquer chastity.
But whether unripe years did want conceit,
Or he refused to take her figured proffer,
The tender nibbler would not touch the bait,
But smile and jest at every gentle offer:
Then fell she on her back, fair queen, and toward:
He rose and ran away; Ah! fool to forward.
