Yet, sweet, take heed, all sweets are hard to get;
Yet, sweet, take heed, all sweets are hard to get;
Sting not her soft lips, Oh beware of that:
Sting not her soft lips, Oh beware of that:
For if one flaming dart come from her eye,
For if one flaming dart come from her eye,
Was never dart so sharp, ah, then you die!
Was never dart so sharp, ah, then you die!
