Original text and translations

English text

Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
When June is past, the fading rose;
For in your beauty’s orient deep,
These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

Ask me no more if East or West
The Phoenix builds her spicy nest;
For unto you at last she flies,
And in your fragrant bosom dies.
