In the harmony divine
Like an exhalation wreathing
Which enwrapped her perfect form
To the sound of air low-breathing
Her life-breathing [limbs] did flow
Wrapped in sweet wild melodies—
A shade and shelter to the lake
Of an ever-lengthening line
Whence it rises soft and slow;
Through Aeolian pines, which make
At the creation of the Earth
With a beauty clear and warm.
Pleasure, that divinest birth,
From the soil of Heaven did rise,
