Come kiss me, dear—a little play
Like this improves the brightest day.
Nay, do not fear! No one will tell,
Nor miss the kiss you kiss so well.
'T is charming, sweet; but run away,
My little love. Another? Stay!
I fear you 'll lead me quite astray.
And yet, for Eve old Adam fell—
Come kiss me, dear!

Alas, I am but common clay,
And victim of a siren's sway!
Nay, dearest, I do not rebel—
Your sweet caresses quite excel—
So I, your doting parent, say:
"Come kiss me, dear."
