Strachey pens eight stanzas, beginning: "Take me all, all! Let my enchanted soul / Melt marvelling into yours, and my glad flesh / Assume delicious slavery in your arms! / So shall I learn the secret of those charms, / Stronger than night, and than the dawn more flesh." In fine condition. In fine condition, with short edge splits to the intersecting folds.
