And hearts of virgins glide,

Thou makest feeling conqueror. Ah! through thee

Fuller, more tremulous, heaves each blooming breast;

With lips spell-freed by thee

Young love unfaltering pleads.

Fair gleams the wine, when to the social change

Of thought, or heart-felt pleasure, it invites,

And the 'Socratic' cup

With dewy roses bound,

Sheds through the bosom bliss, and wakes resolves,
