Naked she lay, clasped in my longing arms, I filled with love, and she all over charms, Both equally inspired with eager fire, Melting through kindness, flaming in desire; With arms, legs, lips, close clinging to embrace.

About
John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester was born in Oxfordshire, England. He was an English poet and courtier of King Charles II's Restoration court. He is as well known for his rakish lifestyle as his poetry, although the two were often interlinked. During his lifetime, he was best known for A Satyr Against Reason and Mankind, and it remains among his best known works today. He is also one of the most original and powerful of English satirists. His “History of Insipids” is a devastating attack on the government of Charles II, and his “Maim’d Debauchee” has been described as “a masterpiece of heroic irony.” He received his M.A. degree at Oxford in 1661.
