|
YE Gods! the raptures of that night! | |
| What fierce convulsions of delight! | |
| How in each other’s arms involv’d, | |
| We lay confounded, and dissolved: | |
| Bodies mingling, sexes blending, | 5 |
| Which should most be lost contending, | |
| Darting fierce and flaming kisses, | |
| Plunging into boundless blisses; | |
| Our bodies, and our souls on fire, | |
| Tost by a tempest of Desire; | 10 |
| Till with utmost fury driven, | |
| Down, at once, we sunk to heaven. | | | |
