GORMFLAITH'S SONG, FR. KING LEAR'S WIFE by GORDON BOTTOMLEY

First Line: IF YOU HAVE A MIND TO KISS ME
Last Line: I'LL SHUT MINE. COME, HAVE YOU SPIED ME?
Subject(s): KISSES;

If you have a mind to kiss me,
You shall kiss me in the dark:
Yet rehearse, or you might miss me --
Make my mouth your noontide mark.
See, I prim and pout it so;
Now take aim and -- No, no, no!
Shut your eyes, or you'll not learn
Where the darkness soon shall hide me:
If you will not, then, in turn,
I'll shut mine. Come, have you spied me?
