The same kind of enthusiasm is more elaborately worked out in the
following comparisons:[20]--

"Matutini sideris
Jubar praeis,
Et lilium
Rosaque periere:
Micat ebur dentium
Per labium,
Ut Sirium
Credat quis enitere."

As might be expected, such lovers were not satisfied with
contemplative pleasures:[21]--

"Visu, colloquio,
Contactu, basio,
Frui virgo dederat;
Sed aberat
Linea posterior
Et melior amori,
Quam nisi transiero,
De cetero
Sunt quae dantur alia
Materia furori."

The conclusion of this song, which, taken in its integrity, deserves
to be regarded as typical of what is pagan in this erotic literature,
may be studied in the Appendix to _Carmina Burana_.
