<poem> | |||
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. | |||

Original text and translations
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.
