1.
Return enraptur'd hours
When Delia's heart was mine.
When she with wreaths of flowers,
My
temples did entwine:
No
jealosy nor care
Corroded then my breast
But
visions light as air
Presided o'er my rest.
2.
Now
nightly round my bed
No
airy visions play;
Nor
flowrets wreath my head
Each vernal holliday:
Far, far from these sad plains
The
lovely Delia flies
While rack'd with jealous pains
Her
wretched lover dies!
