A diaphanous enticement of freshly laundered clean linen, aquatic calone, papyrus, white lotuses, nabq berry, and cucurbit melon musk.
Love, how I'd love to slip down to the pond,
bathe with you close by on the bank.
Just for you I'd wear my new swimming gown,
Made of sheer linen, fit for a queen--
Come see how it looks in the water!
Couldn't I coax you to wade in with me?
