KISSES by WILLIAM STRODE

First Line: MY LOVE AND I FOR KISSES PLAYED
Last Line: "TAKE YOUR OWN KISSES; GIVE ME MINE AGAIN."
Subject(s): KISSES; LOVE - BEGINNINGS;

MY love and I for kisses played:
She would keep stakes -- I was content;
But when I won, she would be paid;
This made me ask her what she meant.
"Pray since I see," quoth she, "your wrangling vein,
Take your own kisses; give me mine again."
