CHARLES II: REFRAIN, by DOUGLAS BROOKE WHEELTON SLADEN Poet's Biography First Line: Come and kiss me, mistress beauty Last Line: I will give you all that's due t' ye. | |||
COME and kiss me, mistress Beauty, I will give you all that's due t'ye. I will taste your rosebud lips Daintily as the bee sips; At your bonny eyes I'll look Like a scholar at his book: On my bosom you shall rest, Like a robin on her nest: Round my body you shall twine, I'll be elm, and you be vine: In a bumper of your breath I would drain a draught of death: In the tangles of your hair I'd be hanged and never care. Then come kiss me, mistress Beauty, I will give you all that's due t' ye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SALOPIA INHOSPITALIS by DOUGLAS BROOKE WHEELTON SLADEN SUNSET ON THE CUNIMBLA VALLEY, BLUE MOUNTAINS by DOUGLAS BROOKE WHEELTON SLADEN THE TROPICS by DOUGLAS BROOKE WHEELTON SLADEN THE INCORRIGIBLE DIRIGIBLE by HAYDEN CARRUTH ON CARPACCIO'S PICTURE: THE DREAM OF ST.
