1. When I survey Clarinda's Charms,
Folded within my circling Arms,
What endless Pleasures move along,
Serenely soft, and sweetly strong;
Every Smile invites to Love;
Balmy Kisses,
Am'rous Blisses,
Every rising Charm improve.
2. Immortal Bliss, that ne'r will cloy,
Always attends her Angel Form;
Softest Repose, and blooming Joy
In her conspire the Soul to charm:
All that can Joy or Love create;
Beauteous Blessing,
Past expressing,
Round the tender Fair One wait.
3. Love on her Breast has fixt his Throne,
And Cupid revels in her Eyes;
Who can the Charmer's Power disown
When in each Glance an Arrow flies?
Yet when wounded we feel no Pain;
No, 'tis Pleasure
Above Measure,
Raptures flow in every Vein.
