I hasted to the roseate bowers

Where Pleasure dwells with Love.

There Youth, and Love, and Beauty, bound

The glowing rose my harp around;

Then to the daughter of Desire,

To bright-eyed Pleasure gave the lyre:

She tuned the string,

And smiling softer than the rosy sea,

When the young Morning blushes on her breast,

She raised the raptured lay,
