Love in her sunny eyes does basking play;
Love walks the pleasant mazes of her hair;
Love does on both her lips for ever stray;
And sows and reaps a thousand kisses there.
In all her outward parts
Love's always seen;
But, oh, he never went within.
by Abraham Cowley (1618–67), English poet and essayist, in The Mistress: or…Love Verses (1647) ‘The Change’
