The Enjoyment
Anonymous(From Miscellany Poems, 1709) |
YE Gods! the raptures of that night! | |
What fierce convulsions of delight! | |
How in each other’s arms involv’d, | |
We lay confounded, and dissolved: | |
Bodies mingling, sexes blending, | 5 |
Which should most be lost contending, | |
Darting fierce and flaming kisses, | |
Plunging into boundless blisses; | |
Our bodies, and our souls on fire, | |
Tost by a tempest of Desire; | 10 |
Till with utmost fury driven, | |
Down, at once, we sunk to heaven. | |
