Take, oh, take those lips away
That so sweetly were forsworn
And those eyes, like break of day,
Lights that so mislead the morn;
But my kisses bring again,
Seals of love, though sealed in vain.
Hide, oh, hide those hills of snow,
Which thy frozen bosom bears,
On whose tops the pinks that grow
Are of those that April wears;
But first set my poor heart free,
Bound in those icy chains by thee.
JOHN FLETCHER
Sweetly : delightfully
