EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 36. GOLD THE PICKLOCK by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: THE GOLDEN KEY UNLOCKS THE IRON DOOR
Last Line: IT PROVES LIKE QUICKSILVER IN VIRGIN-LAP.
Subject(s): GOLD; KEYS; LOVE;

THE golden key unlocks the iron door,
Poor Danae is surprised; no thunder-clap
Forceth like gold, nor lightning pierceth more,
It proves like quicksilver in virgin-lap.
