Horace, Odes ii. 12. 25–28. — Say, would you change for all the wealth possest By rich Achæmenes or Phrygia's heir, Or the full stores of Araby the blest, One lock of her dear hair,While to your burning lips she bends her neck, Or with kind cruelty denies the due She means you not to beg for, but to take, Or snatches it from you? — John Conington, The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace (1872)
