1 What haruest halfe so sweet is,
As still to reape the kisses
Growne ripe in sowing ?
And straight to be receiuer
Of that which thou art giuer,
Rich in bestowing ?
Kisse then my haruest Queene,
full garners heaping ;
Kisses ripest when th'are greene,
want onely reaping.
2 The Doue alone expresses
Her feruencie in kisses,
Of all most louing :
A creature as offencelesse,
As those things that are sencelesse,
And void of mouing.
Let vs so loue and kisse,
Though all enuie vs :
That which kinde, and harmelesse is,
None can denie vs.
