1 | 1 | The night her silent sable wore, | The night her silent sable wore, |
2 | 2 | And gloomy were the skies, | And gloomy were the skies, |
3 | 3 | Of glitt | Of glittering stars appeared no more |
4 | 4 | Than those in Nelly's eyes | Than those in Nelly's eyes ; |
5 | 5 | When to her father's | When to her father's gate I came, |
6 | 6 | Where I had often been, | Where I had often been, |
7 | 7 | And begged my fair, my lovely dame, | |
8 | 8 | To rise | To rise and let me in. |
9 | 9 | ||
10 | 10 | Fast locked within my close embrace, | |
11 | 11 | She trembling stood ashamed -- | |
12 | 12 | Her swelling breast, and glowing face, | |
13 | 13 | And every touch inflamed. | |
14 | 14 | With look and accents all divine | |
15 | 15 | She did my warmth reprove, -- | |
16 | 16 | The more she spoke, the more she looked, | |
17 | 17 | T | The warmer waxed my love. |
18 | 18 | ||
19 | 19 | 0 then beyond expressing, | |
20 | 20 | Transporting was the joy ! | |
21 | 21 | I | I knew no greater blessing, |
22 | 22 | So blest a man was I : | |
23 | 23 | And she all ravish'd with delight, | |
24 | 24 | Bid me oft come again, | |
25 | 25 | And kindly vowed that every night | |
26 | 26 | She'd rise and let me in. | |
27 | 27 | ||
28 | 28 | Full soon soon I returned again | |
29 | 29 | When stars were streaming free, | |
30 | 30 | Oh slowly, slowly came she down, | |
31 | 31 | And stood and gazed on me : | |
32 | 32 | Her lovely eyes with tears ran o'er, | |
33 | 33 | Repenting her rash sin -- | |
34 | 34 | And aye she mourn'd the fatal hour | |
35 | 35 | She rose and loot me in. | |
36 | |||
37 | But who could cruelly deceive, | ||
38 | Or from such beauty part ? | ||
39 | I lov'd her so, I could not leave | ||
40 | The charmer of my heart : | ||
41 | We wedded, and I thought me blest | ||
42 | Such loveliness to win ; | ||
43 | And now she thanks the happy hour | ||
44 | She rose and loot me in. |
