HOW IMPERFECT IS EXPRESSION

How imperfect is expression
Such emotions to impart,
When we mean a soft confession,
And yet seek to hide the heart.
When our bosoms all complying,
With enraptur'd tumults swell.
And beat what broken falt'ring, dying
Language would but cannot tell.


HOW IMPERFECT IS EXPRESSION
Sung by Mrs. Abington in Twelfth Night
