A SWEET "No! no!" with sweet smile beneath Becomes an honest girl,—I'd have you learn it; As for plain, "Yes!" it may be said, i' faith, Too plainly and too soft,—pray, well discern it! Not that I'd have my pleasure incomplete, Or lose the kiss for which my lips beset you; But that in suffering me to take it, sweet! I'd have you say—"No! no! I will not let you!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EXAMPLE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES POETASTER: SONG (4) by BEN JONSON KNEE-DEEP IN JUNE by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY ROLL-CALL by NATHANIEL GRAHAM SHEPHERD ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 13.
