 With rapt'rous wonder I gaz'd.

and freely my heart I resign'd.

With rapt'rous wonder, &c.

Ye fates, then my passion approve,

ye Powers confine her to me; Ye, &c.

I'm lost to all joys but her love,

there's nothing cart bless me but thee, &c.

Possessing Amora, secures

real pleasure, content, and true joy, &c.

Love founded on reason endures,

no care can its blessings destroy. Love, &c.

Don't envy ye Powers, my blefs,

bellow her, I can ask no more: &c.

Her endearments exceed ev'ry with,

'tis only for her I implore. Her, &c.

H! how shall I in language weak,

my ardent passion tell,

Or form my fault'ring 'tongue to speak,

that cruel word, Farewel!

Farewel! but know, tho' thus we part,

my thoughts can never stray:

Go where I will, my constant heart,

must with my charmer stay.
