'Sans peser. -- Sans rester.' A KISS. ROSE kissed me to-day. Will she kiss me to-morrow? Let it be as it may, Rose kissed me to-day, But the pleasure gives way To a savour of sorrow; -- Rose kissed me to-day, -- Will she kiss me to-morrow? CIRCE. IN the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar: -- O, they fish with all nets In the School of Coquettes! When her brooch she forgets 'Tis to show her new collar; In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar! A TEAR. THERE'S a tear in her eye, -- Such a clear little jewel! What can make her cry? There's a tear in her eye. 'Puck has killed a big fly, -- And it's horribly cruel'; There's a tear in her eye, -- Such a clear little jewel! A GREEK GIFT. HERE'S a present for Rose, How pleased she is looking! Is it verse? -- is it prose? Here's a present for Rose! 'Plats,' 'Entrees,' and 'Rots,' -- Why, it's 'Gouffe on Cooking.' Here's a present for Rose, How pleased she is looking! 'URCEUS EXIT.' I INTENDED an Ode, And it turned to a Sonnet. It began a la mode, I intended an Ode; But Rose crossed the road In her latest new bonnet; I intended an Ode; And it turned to a Sonnet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO HIS FORSAKEN MISTRESS by ROBERT AYTON THE PHANTOM-LOVER [OR, WOOER] by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE HOLY SCRIPTURES (1) by GEORGE HERBERT DELIGHT IN DISORDER by ROBERT HERRICK A CHARACTER OF SARAH HALLOWELL VAUGHAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD CRICKET ON THE HEARTH by PIERRE JEAN DE BERANGER |
