For love's sake, kiss me once again;
I long, should not beg in vain,
Here's none to spy see;
Why do you doubt or stay?
I'll taste lightly as the bee
That doth but touch his and flies away.
Once more, and faith I will gone;
Can he that loves ask less than one?
Nay, you may err in this
And all your bounty wrong;
This could be called but half a kiss,
What we're but once to do, we should do long.
I but mend the last, and tell
Where, how it have relished well;
Join lip to lip, and try
suck other's breath.
And whilst our tongues perplexed lie,
who will, think us dead or wish our death.
