“ How seldom it a lover brings!
how rarely keeps a heart!
O! gather from thy Nelly's charms,
that sweet, that graceful ease;
That blushing modesty that warms;
that native art to please!
Come then, my Love! O come along!
and feed me with thy charms;
Come, fair inspirer of my song,
O fill my longing arms!
A flame like mine can never die,
while charms so bright as thine,
So heav'nly fair, so bright the eye,
and fill the soul divine!
