Take, O take those lips away,
Take, O take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
That so sweetly were forsworn;
Line 15: Line 18:
But my kisses bring again;
But my kisses bring again;
Seals of love, but sealed in vain.
Seals of love, but sealed in vain.

Take, O take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again;
Seals of love, but sealed in vain.
