THE TOUCH-ME-NOT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: SO TICKLISH IS MY SKIN
Last Line: AND BID YOU TOUCH-ME-NOT.
Subject(s): FLOWERS;

So ticklish is my skin
That if you touch my side
The little seed within
Will laugh and split me wide.

So, when I see you near
The mirth-provoking spot,
No wonder that I fear
And bid you touch-me-not.
