Book 6: Hymn 9: A man's love-charm

HYMN IX

A man's love-charm

1Desire my body, love my feet, love thou mine eyes, and love my
legs.
Let both thine eyes and hair, fond girl! be dried and parched.
through love of me.
2I make thee hang upon mine arm, I make thee lie upon my
heart.
Thou yieldest to my wish, that thou mayst be submissive to my
will.
3May they whose kisses are a bond, a love-charm laid within the
heart,
Mothers of butter, may the cows incline that maid to love of
me.
