Her Bright Eyes sweet, and yet severe,

Where Love and Shame confus’dly strive.

Fresh Vigour to Lys an de r give :

And vvhisp’ring softly in his Ear,

Eut he, as much unus’d to fear,

As he was capable of Love,

The blestest Minutes to improve,

Kisses her Lips, her Neck, her Hair jEach Touch her new Desires alarms;

His burning trembling Hand he prestUpon her melting snowy Breast ;

While she lay panting in his Arms,

All her unguarded Beauties lie,

The Spoils and Trophies of the Enemy.

And now, without Respect or Fear,

Fie seeks the Object of his Vows;

His Love no Modesty allows;

By swift Degrees advancing whereHis daring Hand that Altar seiz’d,

Where Gods of LoVe do sacrifice ;

That awful Throne, that Paradise)

Where Rage is tam’d and Anger pleas’d jThat living Fpuntairi, from whose TrillsThe melted Soulin liquid Drops distils. !i
