That wafts from Afric’s spicy trees;

’Tis honey from the osier hive,

Which chymist bees with care derive

From all the newly-opened flowers

That bloom in Cecrops’ roseate bowers,

Or from the breathing sweets that grow

On famed Hymettus’ thymy brow:

But if such kisses you bestow,

If from your lips such raptures flow,

Thus blest, supremely blest by thee,
