Artless, as Eve yet unbeguiled.Blubbering like a seal.Brainless as chimpanzees.Brisk as bees that settle on a summer rose’s petal.Slowly disappearing, like a day dream.Flash like a rocket.Fleet is his foot as the wild roe-buck’s.A maiden’s heart is as champagne, ever struggling upward.Prattled like a babbling brook.Regal as Juno.Rosy as pinks.Straight as a beadle’s wand.Yellow, like April bees.
