How can such joy as this want words to speak?

And yet what words can speak such joy as this?

Far from the world, that might their quiet break,

Here the glad souls the face of beauty kiss,

Poured out in pleasure, on their beds of bliss,

And drunk with nectar torrents, ever hold

Their eyes on him, whose graces manifold

The more they do behold, the more they would behold.
