Čia yra dar tęsinys (kurį vis dar skaito grojant ultra-romantiškai Norrė muzikai begėdis aktorius Michaelas Yorkas), bet jis neįtrauktas į greatest love poems bukletėlį:

Her thighs and belly, soft and fair,    

To me were only shown:

To have seen such meat, and not to have eat,    

Would have angered any stone.   

Her knees lay upward gently bent,         25   

And all lay hollow under,

As if on easy terms they meant    

To fall unforc’d asunder;

Just so the Cyprian Queen did lie,    

Expecting in her bower;         30

When too long stay, had kept the boy    

Beyond his promis’d hour.   

“Dull clown,” quoth she, “why dost delay    

Such proffered bliss to take?

Canst thou find out no other way         35   

Similitudes to make?”

Mad with delight I thundering    

Threw my Arms about her,

But pox upon ’t ’twas but a dream.    

And so I lay without her.         40
