Whose depths the mirror'd Heaven define.

O Pearl in my Mussel Shell:

O Diamond in my darkest Mine!

My Honey is in Thee dissolved;

O Milk of Life, so mild, so fine!

Our Sweetnesses all blent in Thee,

Give infant Lips their Smiles benign.

Thou crushest me to Drops of Rose;

Nor 'neath the Press do I repine.

In Thy sweet Pain is Pain forgot;
