Charcoal - Momus

Conteret me, destroy

Your beauty doth exceed my most voluptuous wish

The heat of lips I kiss

Transforms me in the forge of bliss

Destroy me now, and let my joy my death befriend

O never can, o never can destruction end

Destroy me, destroy me

Dowse my fire with tears

Employ me as

Charcoal, charcoal

I’ll draw you as you char my soul

Your part is pale and slender as it grips

The heat the hips betwixt

Transforms me in the forge of bliss

Destroy me now, and let my joy my death befriend

O never can, o never can destruction end

Destroy me, destroy me

Dowse my fire with tears

Employ me as

Charcoal, charcoal

I’ll draw you as you charm my soul

Conteret me, destroy
