Richard Lovelace

Ad Juvencium. Cat. Ep. 49.

AD JUVENCIUM.  CAT. EP. 49.
 
Mellitos oculos tuos, Juvenci,
Si quis me sinat usque basiare,
Usque ad millia basiem trecenta;
Nec unquam videat satur futurus:
Non si densior aridis aristis,
Sit nostrae seges osculationis.
 
              TO JUVENCIUS.
 
Juvencius, thy fair sweet eyes
If to my fill that I may kisse,
Three hundred thousand times I’de kisse,
Nor future age should cloy this blisse;
No, not if thicker than ripe ears
The harvest of our kisses bears.
