All adorn'd with fragrant flowers
Was the bofom of each belle ;
And you'd think Arabian bowers
There, to gratify the smell.
But, ihould they with fongs regale us,
And the liflening audience cheer,
Palate, eyes, and nofe, then fail us,
We can nothing do but hear 1
Though thefe pleafures may the foul move,
And you'll fay there are none fuch,
Yet, I vow, when rear my true love,
There's none equal to the touch !
Yes, 1 own, my deareft treafure 1
When encircled in your arms,
Mortal cann't enjoy more pleafure
Than to feel fuch heav'nly charms !
