John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester Quote

On thy wither'd lips and dry,
Which like barren furrows lie,
Brooding kisses I will pour,
Shall thy youthful heart restore.
(Such kind showers in autumn fall,
And a second spring recall);
Nor from thee will ever part,
Ancient Person of my Heart.

A Song of a Young Lady to Her Ancient Lover, ll. 7-14.
