Work rating:
Low
Sweet kiss, thy sweets I fain would sweetly endite,
Which even of sweetness sweetest sweet`ner art:
Pleasing`st consort, where each sense holds a part;
Which, coupling doves, guides Venus` chariot right;
Best charge, and bravest retreat in Cupid`s fight,
A double key, which opens to the heart,
Most rich, when most his riches it impart;
Nest of young joys, schoolmaster of delight,
Teaching the mean at once to take and give;
The friendly fray, where blows both wound and heal,
The pretty death, while each in other live;
Poor hope`s first wealth, hostage of promis`d weal,
Breakfast of love. But lo! lo, where she is.
Cease we to praise; now pray we for a kiss.
