English text
To be gazing on those charms,
To enfold thee in these arms,
From those lips to hear thy vow,
With ecstatic sweetness flow;
To be loved by one so fair
Is to be blest beyond compare.
At that bosom's gentle shrine,
To confess what glows in mine;
In those heavenly eyes to view,
That confession dear to you;
To be loved by one so fair
Is to be blest beyond compare.
