It is a worldlike peace, a safety seeing dread,

A deep despair annexed to hope, a fancy that is fed,

Sweet poison for his taste, a port Charybdis like,

A Scylla for his safety, though a lion that is meek.

TURBERVILLE.


KISSING.

O kiss! which dost those ruddy gems impart,

Or gems, or fruits, of new found Paradise;

Breathing all bliss and sweet'ning to the heart;
