Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare,
That you are musick every where.

And all my senses feasted are,

Sure I must perish by your charms;
Unless you save me in your arms.</poem>

Zu nie versiegenden Genüssen:
Deine Augen, dein Mienenspiel, deine Zunge verkünden,
Dass du überall Musik bist.
 
Genüsse dringen in Aug und Ohr;
So heftig sind die Empfindungen, dass sie verwunden;
Und alle meine Sinne sind ergötzt,
Und doch ist der Genuss nur Schall:
Sicher muss ich durch deine Reize sterben;
Rettest du mich nicht in deinen Armen.}}<ref name="FR"/></poem>
