Sylvia the fair, in the bloom of Fifteen Felt an innocent warmth, as she lay on the green; She had heard of a pleasure, and something she guest By the towzing and tumbling and touching her Breast: She saw the men eager, but was at a loss, What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close;   By their praying and whining,   And clasping and twining,   And panting and wishing,   And sighing and kissing,   And sighing and kissing so close.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Sylvia the fair, in the bloom of Fifteen Felt an innocent warmth, as she lay on the green; She had heard of a pleasure, and something she guest By the towzing and tumbling and touching her Breast: She saw the men eager, but was at a loss, What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close;   By their praying and whining,   And clasping and twining,   And panting and wishing,   And sighing and kissing,   And sighing and kissing so close." in the context of "John Dryden, "Sylvia the Fair", st. 1, in Sylvæ (1685)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
