From ardent lips so ardent kisses please,

For glowing transports often spring from these.

What joy! to kiss those eyes that wanton rove,

Then catch the glances of returning love;

Or clinging to the cheek of crimson glow,

The bosom, shoulder, or the neck of snow;

What pleasure! tender passion to assuage,

And see the traces of our amorous rage

On the soft neck or blooming cheek exprest,

On the white shoulder, or still whiter breast!
