On Fruition

Listen to:

On Fruition (:38)

by Sir Charles Sedley 

performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode

None, but a Muse in love, can tell
The sweet tumultuous joys I feel,
When on Cælia’s breast I lie,
When I tremble, faint, and die;
Mingling kisses with embraces,
Darting tongues, and joining faces,
Panting, stretching, sweating, cooing,
All in the ecstasy of doing.

 (from Works, 1722)
