KISSING CASUISTRY; EPIGRAM by JOHN GODFREY SAXE

First Line: WHEN SARAH JANE, THE MORAL MISS
Last Line: SHE'D RATHER SUFFER WRONG THAN DO IT!
Subject(s): KISSES;

WHEN Sarah Jane, the moral Miss,
Declares 't is very wrong to kiss,
I'll bet a shilling I see through it;
The damsel, fairly understood,
Feels just as any Christian should, --
She'd rather suffer wrong than do it!
