TO MRS,—-.

ON HER BEAUTIFUL TRANSLATION OF VOITURE'S KISS.

    Mon ame sur mon lèvre étoit lors toute entière.
    Pour savourer le miel qui sur la votre étoit;
    Mais en me retirant, elle resta derrière,
      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.
