To chambers brighter than the rose,

To Peace, to Pleasure, and to Love,

So kind a star thou seem’st to be,

Sure some enamoured orb above

Descends and burns to meet with thee.

Thine is the breathing, blushing hour,

When all unheavenly passions fly,

Chased by the soul-subduing power

Of Love’s delicious witchery.

O! sacred to the fall of day,
