From you a soft sensation seems to rise,

And, to the heart, advances through the eyes;

What there it causes I've no need to tell:

Some die of love, or languish in the spell.

Far better surely mortals here might do;

There's no occasion dangers to pursue.

By way of proof a charmer I will bring,

Whose beauty to a hermit gave the sting:

Thence, save the sin, which fully I except;

A very pleasant intercourse was kept;
