midnight
A thousand passionate devils are dancing in her brilliant eyes -- her lips are moist with the honey of love -- and her form seems to glow with ardent but hidden fires ! Come , let me delay no longer , but speak to her in the language befitting a master to his slave ! ' '' ` Lady , ' said I , in a tone familiar , yet not disrespectful -- ` why this reserve and silence ? You know for what purpose I come thus at midnight to your chamber -- it is by your own appointment , and to receive the reward of a difficult and dangerous service which I have performed for you . Nay , I see that you have anticipated my coming , by preparing this delicate and acceptable feast for our entertainment . Is it not so , my charmer ? And you have dressed yourself in this bewitching style of chaste simplicity , solely to please me -- am I right ?
