Through all that is going on throughout the evening, his mind is on the the redheaded songster. He wants to take her to his bed. Somehow her actions are igniting his will to write.

@Christopher1974 Yes, but writing itself is a sexual metaphor here, I guess. When he says 'My quill it aches' I believe he is not actually referring to writing tools. Probably 'Turn loose the swans' is the most poetic way to say 'get naked'.
