If any can yet greater be,

Yes, my Neæra! yes, ’tis thee!”

KISS VI.

Two thousand kisses of the sweetest kind,

’Twas once agreed, our mutual love should bind;

First from my lips a rapturous thousand flowed,

Then you a thousand in your turn bestowed;

The promised numbers were fulfilled, I own,

But love sufficed with numbers ne’er was known!
