To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Like the petals of the Rose
When the dews their scent disclose,
Soft as velvet tho' they be,
Fragrant of the Dawn and thee,
Yet thy lips are sweeter far
Than all garden Roses are.

And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

Shall this nectar
Run useless, then, to waste? or ... these lips,

They must--nay, 'tis in vain to make resistance--
Be often kissed and tasted.

Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.
