To thee the Queen of nymphs divineB
Fairest of all that fairest shineB
To thee who rulest with darts of fireC
This world of mortals young DesireC
And oh thou nuptial Power to theeD
Who bearest of life the guardian keyD
Breathing my soul in fervent praiseE
And weaving wild my votive laysE
For thee O Queen I wake the lyreF
For thee thou blushing young DesireC
And oh for thee thou nuptial PowerC
Come and illume this genial hourC
-
Look on thy bride too happy boyG
And while thy lambent glance of joyG
Plays over all her blushing charmsH
Delay not snatch her to thine armsH
Before the lovely trembling preyI
Like a young birdling wing awayI
Turn Stratocles too happy youthJ
Dear to the Queen of amorous truthJ
And dear to her whose yielding zoneK
Will soon resign her all thine ownK
Turn to Myrilla turn thine eyeL
Breathe to Myrilla breathe thy sighL
To those bewitching beauties turnM
For thee they blush for thee they burnM
-
Not more the rose the queen of flowersN
Outblushes all the bloom of bowersN
Than she unrivalled grace disclosesO
The sweetest rose where all are rosesO
Oh may the sun benignant shedP
His blandest influence o'er thy bedP
And foster there an infant treeD
To bloom like her and tower like theeD
