¶Liedtext

When first thy soft lips I but civilly press'd, O Anna, how great was my bliss! The fatal contagion ran quick to my breast; I lost my poor heart with a kiss. And when thus supremely I'm blest with your sight, I scarce can my transports restrain; I wish, and I pant, to repeat the delight, And kiss you again and again. In raptures I wish to enjoy all those charms, Still stealing from favour to favour. And now, O ye gods! let me fly to your arms, And kiss you for ever and ever.
