[Tis no Kiss my Fair bestows]
Tis no Kiss my Fair bestows;
Nectar 'tis whence new Life flows;
All the Sweets which nimble Bees
In their Ozier Treasuries
With unequall'd Art repose,
In one Kiss her Lips disclose.
These, if I should many take,
Soon would me Immortal make,
Rais'd to the divine Abodes,
And the Banquets of the Gods.
Nectar 'tis whence new Life flows;

In their Ozier Treasuries

Rais'd to the divine Abodes,
And the Banquets of the Gods.

Be not then too lavish, Fair!
But this heavenly Treasure spare,
'Less thou'lt too Immortal be:
For without thy Companie,
What to Me were the Abodes,
Or the Banquets of the Gods?
But this heavenly Treasure spare,
'Less thou'lt too Immortal be:
For without thy Companie,
What to Me were the Abodes,
Or the Banquets of the Gods?
