To Mrs,---. On Her Beautiful Translation Of Voiture's Kiss.
By Thomas Moore
Mon ame sur mon lvre toit lors toute entire. Pour savourer le miel qui sur la votre toit; Mais en me retirant, elle resta derrire, Tant de ce doux plaisir l'amorce l'a restoit. VOITURE. How heavenly was the poet's doom, To breathe his spirit through a kiss: And lose within so sweet a tomb The trembling messenger of bliss! And, sure his soul returned to feel That it again could ravished be; For in the kiss that thou didst steal, His life and soul have fled to thee.
