[When first I saw you, O untold delight!]
When first I saw you, O untold delight!After long absence, and reluctant woe,
A thousand Angels burst upon my sight,
And all my heart did with soft passion glow:
The Muses then, that to my thoughts were strange,
Return'd to me, with verdant laurel crown'd,
And in the front of that auspicious change,
Myself unto their suit again I bound:
Nor could the Moon her sheeny chariot guide
Up that steep path, that to Olympus leads,
Ere I your beauteous form had signified
In pastoral delights, and shepherds' weeds:
So swift is love, that, in it's true delight,
The Moon it passes, and the journal light!
