Then, nor cheeks of rosy bloom,

Nor thy lips that breathe perfume,

Nor thine eyes’ expressive light,

Bless thy lover’s envious sight;

Nor that soothing smile, which cheers

All his tender hopes and fears:

For, as radiant Phœbus streams

O’er the globe with placid beams,

Whirling through the ethereal way

The fiery-axled car of day,
