Philip Sidney - Sonnet 79: Sweet kiss, Thy Sweets I FainPhilip Sidney - Sonnet 79: Sweet kiss, Thy Sweets I Fain
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.
