Words by Sappho (c.630 – c.570 BCE), tr. Ambrose Philips (1674–1749).Text: O Venus! Beauty of the Skies,To whom a thousand Temples rise;Gaily false in gentle Smiles,Full of Love-perplexing Wiles;O Goddess! from my Heart removeThe wasting Cares and Pains of Love;The wasting Cares and Pains of Love.Thou once didst leave Almighty Jove,And all the Golden Roofs above:The Car thy wanton Sparrows drew,Hov'ring in Air they lightly flew;As to my Bow'r they wing'd their way,I saw their quiv'ring Pinions play,I saw their quiv'ring Pinions play.Celestial Visitant, once moreThy needful Presence I implore!In Pity, come and ease my Grief,Bring my distemper'd Soul Relief;Favour thy Suppliant's hidden Fires,And give me all my Heart desires,And give me all my Heart desires.
