Take, O Take Those Lips Away

By William Shakespeare

Take, O take those lips away,

    That so sweetly were forsworn;

  And those eyes, the break of day,

    Lights that do mislead the morn:

  But my kisses bring again,

       bring again,

  Seals of love, but seal'd in vain,

       seal'd in vain.
