William Denis Browne - To Gratiana Dancing and Singing - текст песни (слова)

See! with what constant motion
 Even and glorious as the sun, 
 Gratiana steers that noble frame,
 Soft as her breast, sweet as her voice
 That gave each winding law and poise,
 And swifter than the wings of fame.
 
 Each step trod out a lover's thought
 And the ambitious hopes he brought,
 Chain'd to her brave feet with such arts;
 Such sweet command, and gentle awe,
 As when she ceas'd, we sighing saw
 The floor lay pav'd with broken hearts.
 
 So did she move; so did she sing
 Like the harmonious spheres that bring
 Unto their rounds their music's aid;
 Which she performed such a way,
 As all th' enamoured world will say:
 "The Graces danced, and Apollo play'd."
