On thy lips’ nectareous way;

As the dimpling Graces spread

On thy cheeks’ carnationed bed;

As the deaths thy lovers die;

As the conquests of thine eye,

Or the cares and fond delights

Which its changeful beam incites;

As the hopes and fears we prove,

Or the impassioned sighs, in love;

As the shafts by Cupid sped,
