A
-
Rack'd by the flames of jealous rageB
By all her torments deeply curstC
Of hell born passions far the worstC
What hope my pangs can now assuageB
-
-
-
I tore me from thy circling armsD
To madness fir'd by doubts and fearsE
Heedless of thy suspicious tearsF
Nor feeling for thy feign'd alarmsD
-
-
-
Resigning every thought of blissG
Forever from your love I goH
Reckless of all the tears that flowH
Disdaining thy polluted kissG
-
-
-
No more that bosom heaves for meI
On it another seeks reposeJ
Another riot's on its snowsJ
Our bonds are broken both are freeI
-
-
-
No more with mutual love we burnK
No more the genial couch we blessL
Dissolving in the fond caressL
Our love o'erthrown will ne'er returnK
-
-
-
Though love than ours could ne'er be truerM
Yet flames too fierce themselves destroyN
Embraces oft repeated cloyN
Ours came too frequent to endureO
-
-
-
You quickly sought a second loverM
And I too proud to share a heartC
Where once I held the whole not partC
Another mistress must discoverM
-
-
-
Though not the first one who hast blest meI
Yet I will own you was the dearestC
The one unto my bosom nearestC
So I conceiv'd when I possest theeI
-
-
-
Even now I cannot well forget theeI
And though no more in folds of pleasureM
Kiss follows kiss in countless measureM
I hope you sometimes will regret meI
-
-
-
And smile to think how oft were doneP
What prudes declare a sin to act isQ
And never but in darkness practiceR
Fearing to trust the tell tale sunP
-
-
-
And wisely therefore night preferM
Whose dusky mantle veils their fearsE
Of this and that of eyes and earsE
Affording shades to those that errS
-
-
-
Now by my foul 'tis most delightC
To view each other panting dyingT
In love's extatic posture lyingT
Grateful to feeling as to sightC
-
-
-
And had the glaring God of DayC
As formerly of Mars and VenusR
Divulg'd the joys which pass'd between usR
Regardless of his peeping rayC
-
-
-
Of love admiring such a sampleU
The Gods and Goddesses descendingT
Had never fancied us offendingT
But wisely followed our exampleU
-
-
-
When to their airy hall my father's voiceV
Shall call my spirit joyful in their choiceV
When pois'd upon the gale my form shall rideC
Or dark in mist descend the mountain's sideC
Oh may my shade behold no sculptur'd urnsV
To mark the spot where earth to earth returnsV
No lengthen'd scroll of virtue and renownW
My epitaph shall be my name aloneX
If that with honour fails to crown my clayC
Oh may no other fame my deeds repayC
That only that shall single out the shotC
By that remember'd or fore'er forgotC
