Begging Another

For love's sake, kiss me once again;

I long, and should not beg in vain,

Here's none to spy or see;

Why do you doubt or stay?

I'll taste as lightly as the bee

That doth but touch his flower and flies away.

Once more, and faith I will be 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 will but mend the last, and tell

Where, how it should have relished well;

Join lip to lip, and try

Each suck other's breath.

And whilst our tongues perplexed lie,

Let who will, think us dead or wish our death.
