TO SEE AND HEAR HER IS HIS GREATEST BLISS.
I feed my fancy on such noble food, / That Jove I envy not his godlike meal; / I see her -- joy invades me like a flood, / And lethe of all other bliss I feel; / I hear her -- instantly that music rare / Bids from my captive heart the fond sigh flow; / Borne by the hand of Love I know not where, / A double pleasure in one draught I know.
