And, dressed in all its visionary charms,

Restores my fair deserter to my arms!

Then round your neck in wanton wreath I twine;

Then you, methinks, as fondly circle mine:

A thousand tender words I hear and speak;

Then fiercer joys; I blush to mention these,

Yet, while I blush, confess how much they please.

But when with day the sweet delusions fly,

And all things wake to life and joy, but I;
