And there he kissed the shepherdess—

Kissed one and two and three.

Then proudly turned the peasant-maid—

Pale as a ghost was she—

"For all ye are King Solomon,

What make ye here so free?"

Oh, lordly laughed King Solomon,

"Shalt be my queen," quoth he;

"These kisses pledged King Solomon

And sealéd him to thee."
