11My lovely Celia, heav'nly fair,My goddess Lydia, heav'nly fair,
22As lilies sweet, as soft as air;As lilies sweet, as soft as air;
33No more then torment me, but be kind,Let loose thy tresses, spread thy charms,
44And with thy love ease my troubled mind.And to my love give fresh alarms.
55
66O, let me gaze on your bright eyes,O let me gaze on those bright eyes,
77Where melting beams so oft arise;Though sacred lightning from them flies:
88My heart's enchanted with thy charms,Show me that soft, that modest grace,
99O, take me, dying, to your arms.Which paints with charming red thy face.
10
11Give me ambrosia in a kiss,
12That I may rival Jove in bliss;
13That I may mix my soul with thine,
14And make the pleasure all divine.
15
16O hide thy bosom's killing white,
17(The milky way is not so bright)
18Lest you my ravish'd soul oppress,
19With beauty's pomp and sweet excess.
20
21Why draw'st thou from the purple flood
22Of my kind heart the vital blood?
23Thou art all over endless charms;
24O ! take me, dying, to thy arms.
