  1. The fair, the olive, are to me the same,
  2. Alike the swarthy, and the sandy dame.
  3. When her black curls adown her shoulders flow,
  4. Such Leda's were, her skin as white as snow;
  5. And when her golden locks her head adorn,
  6. I straight compare her to the saffron morn.
  7. My love with no complexion disagrees,
  8. But all alike my ready passion please.
