I faint! I die! my lab'ring breast Is with the mighty weight of love oppress'd; I feel the fire possess my heart, And pain convey'd to ev'ry part: Thro' all my veins the passion flies My feeble soul forsakes its place, A trembling faintness seals my eyes, And paleness dwells upon my face: Oh! let my love with pow'rful odours stay My fainting love-sick soul, that dies away; One hand beneath me let him place, With t'other press me in a chaste embrace.
