To the same *

• Kiss me, sweet : the wary lover
• Can your favors keep, and cover,
• When the common courting jay
• All your bounties will betray.
• Kiss again : no creature comes.
• Kiss, and score up wealthy sums
• On my lips, thus hardly sundred,
• While you breathe. First give a hundred,
• Then a thousand, then another
• Hundred, then unto the other
• Add a thousand, and so more :
• Till you equal with the store,
• All the grass that Rumney yields,
• Or the sands in Chelsea fields,
• Or the drops in silver Thames,
• Or the stars that gild his streams,
• In the silent Summer-nights,
• When youths ply their stolen delights ;
• That the curious may not know
• How to tell 'em as they flow,
• And the envious, when they find
• What their number is, be pined.
• These have crimes accounted been.
