Leaving me then just
only whilst he fastened the door, he returned with redoubled
eagerness to his prey: when, finding me still entranced, he
ventured to place me as he pleased, whilst I felt, no more
than the dead, what he was about, till the pain he put me to
roused me just in time enough to be witness of a triumph I
was not able to defeat, and now scarce regretted: for as he
talked, the tone of his voice sounded, methought, so sweetly
in my ears, the sensible nearness of so new and interesting
an object to me wrought so powerfully upon me, that, in the
rising perception of things in a new and pleasing light, I
lost all sense of the past injury. The young gentleman soon
discern'd the symptoms of a reconciliation in my softened
looks, and hastening to receive the seal of it from my lips,
press'd them tenderly to pass his pardon in the return of a
kiss so melting fiery, that the impression of it being car-
ried to my heart, and thence to my new-discover'd sphere of
Venus, I was melted into a softness that could refuse him
nothing. When now he managed his caresses and endearments
so artfully as to insinuate the most soothing consolations
for the past pain and the most pleasing expectations of
future pleasure, but whilst mere modesty kept my eyes from
seeing his and rather declined them, I had a glimpse of
that instrument of the mischief which was now, obviously
even to me, who had scarce had snatches of a comparative
observation of it, resuming its capacity to renew it, and
grew greatly alarming with its increase of size, as he bore
it no doubt designedly, hard and stiff against one of my
hands carelessly dropt; but then he employ'd such tender
prefacing, such winning progressions, that my returning
passion of desire being now so strongly prompted by the
engaging circumstances of the sight and incendiary touch of
his naked glowing beauties, I yielded at length at the
force of the present impressions, and he obtained of my
tacit blushing consent all the gratifications of pleasure
left in the power of my poor person to bestow, after he had
cropt its richest flower, during my suspension of life and
abilities to guard it.
