| 138. Take, O take those Lips away |
| |
| 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, | 5 |
| Bring again; | |
| Seals of love, but seal'd in vain, | |
| Seal'd in vain! | |
