  1. My lifted eye-brow shall declare my pain,
  2. My right hand to his fellow shall complain;
  3. And on the back a letter shall design,
  4. Beside a note that shall be writ in wine.
  5. Whene'er you think upon our last embrace,
  6. With your fore-finger gently touch your face.
  7. If any word of mine offend my dear,
  8. Pull with your hand the velvet of your ear;
  9. If you are pleas'd with what I do or say,
  10. Handle your rings, or vith your fingers play.
