Classic Poem

Caelia , by those smiling graces,
Which my panting bosom warm;
By the heaven of thy embraces,
By thy wond'rous pow'r to charm;
By those soft bewitching glances,
Which my inmost bosom move;
By those lips, whose kiss entrances,
Thee, and thee alone I love.

By thy god-like art of loving,
Cælia with a blush, replies;
By thy heavenly power of moving,
All my soul to sympathize!
By thy eager fond caresses,
By those arms around me thrown;
By that look, which truth expresses,
My found heart is all thy own.

Thus with glowing inclination,
They indulge the tender bliss;
And to bind the lasting passion,
Seal it with a mutual kiss.
Close, in fond embraces, lying,
They together seem to grow;
Such supreme delight enjoying,
As true lovers only know.
