Celia, by those Smiling Graces
Which my panting Bosom warm,
By the Heaven of thy Embraces,
By they wondrous power to Charm,
By those soft bewitching Glances
Which my inmost bosom move,
By those Lips whose Kiss entrances,
Thee and Thee alone I love.
By thy Godlike Art of loving,
Celia with a Blush replies,
By thy heavenly power of moving,
All my soul to sympathize,
By those eager soft Caresses,
By those Arms around me thrown,
By that look which Truth expresses,
My fond Heart is all thy own.
Thus with glowing Inclination,
They indulge the tender Bliss,
And to bind the lasting Passion,
Seal it with a mutual Kiss,
Close in fond Embraces lying
They together seem to grow,
Such Supream Delight enjoying,
As true Lovers only know.
