Pleasure is not the one I love:
Her laughter in the market-place
Makes every fool her echo there;
And from her finger-tips she throws
Wild kisses in the open air.
Give me that little miser, Joy,
Who hoards at home her quiet charms;
And offers with her two soft lips
A warmer kiss than any thrown
By Pleasure, from her finger-tips.
