and, although seized with a double passion, for the two inexorable gods, on this side Love, on that Bacchus, were urging me to edge my arm deftly beneath her and try her as she lay, and, bringing up my hand, to steal belated kisses, yet I did not venture to disturb my ladys peace, fearing the chidings of a cruelty I had tasted before; but I remained rooted with eyes intent upon her, like those of Argus upon the strange horns of Inachus child.
