<poem>
I faint! I die! my lab'ring breast
I faint! I die! my lab'ring breast
Is with the mighty weight of love oppress'd;
Is with the mighty weight of love oppress'd;
Line 35: Line 34:
My fainting love-sick soul, that dies away;
My fainting love-sick soul, that dies away;
One hand beneath me let him place,
One hand beneath me let him place,
With t'other press me in a chaste embrace.
With t'other press me in a chaste embrace.}}
</poem>
