Love in a Cottage
They may talk of love in a cottage and bowers of trellised vine— of nature bewitchingly simple, and milkmaids half divine; they may talk of the pleasure of sleeping in the shade of a spreading tree, and a walk in the fields at morning, by the side of a footstep free! But give me a sly flirtation by the light of a chandelier— with music to play in the pauses, and nobody very near; or a seat on a silken sofa, with a glass of pure old wine, and mamma too blind to discover the small white hand in mine. Your love in a cottage is hungry, your vine is a nest for flies— your milkmaid shocks the graces, and simplicity talks of pies! You lie down to your shady slumber and wake with a bug in your ear, and your damsel that walks in the morning is shod like a mountaineer. True love is at home on a carpet, and mightily likes his ease— and true love has an eye for a dinner, and starves beneath shady trees. His wing is the fan of a lady, his foot’s an invisible thing, and his arrow is tipped with a jewel, and shot from a silver string.
