  1. I say what mighty sum of Lybian-sands
  2. Confine Cyrene's Laserpitium-lands
  3. 'Twixt Oracle of Jove the Swelterer
  4. And olden Battus' holy Sepulchre,
  5. Or stars innumerate through night-stillness ken
  6. The stolen Love-delights of mortal men,
  7. For that to kiss thee with unending kisses
