It is laid with this kiss on your fingers—

A jest at the most.

’Tis a commonplace, stale situation,

Now the curtain comes down from above

On the end of our little flirtation—

A travesty romance for Love,

If he climbed in disguise to your lattice,

Fell dead of the first kisses’ pain:

But one thing is left us now; that is—

Begin it again.
