Song VII. The Borrow'd Kiss.
See I languish, see I faint,
I must borrow, beg, or steal;
Can you see a soul in want,
And no kind compassion feel?
Give, or lend, or let me take
One sweet kiss, I ask no more;
One sweet kiss, for pity's sake,
I'll repay it o'er and o'er.

One sweet kiss, for pity's sake,

Chole heard, and with a smile,
Kind, compassionate and sweet,
Colin, it's a sin to steal,
And for me to give's not meet:
But I'll lend a kiss, or twain,
To poor Colin in distress;
Not that I'd be paid again,
Colin I mean nothing less.
