Rake's

In the temple's hush, where statues reside, Men sought solace, in Venus's guise they'd confide. The coquette's power, in beauty enshrined, Drawing desire from the depths of the mind. The rake, a figure of feminine delight, Bold and daring, in passion's flight. Though fleeting his love, a dangerous flame, His allure undeniable, his reputation aflame. In Louis's court, amidst boredom's reign, Prak, the youth, caused a stir, a chain. With eyes that pierced, and hands that roamed, The ladies enchanted, their desires intoned. But beware, young maidens, of the rake's call, For his kiss is sweet, but his heart held thrall. In the park's shadows, where secrets lie, Duala's heart fluttered, beneath the rake's eye. Infamous Duke, a beggar's disguise, Yet his gaze, a flame, 'neath the disguise. Though warned by her chaperon, of his sinful art, Duala's heart danced, to the rake's sweet start.Desire, a flame that flickers bright, In the heart of the Charmer's night. Mlle de Valois, in her drab life's maze, Found thrill in the courtier's daring gaze. Notes, clandestine, in beauty penned, Expressions of his love, he'd send. She, timid at first, but soon ensnared, In the web of his passion, ensnared.
