All the softness of amorous intoxication,

Are held captive in the dimples of thy chin.

Love has excited in my soul a fire

Which cannot be extinguished;—

My bosom is become red with flames,

Like a parterre of roses;—

This heart is no longer mine:

It hangs suspended on the ringlets of thy hair—

And thou, cruel fair! thou piercest it

With a glance of thy cold disdain.
