KISS XI.
Kisses I'm said to teach by newest Rules;Unknown to rigid Sires in ancient Schools.
Disturb'd, my Life, with these severe Alarms,
Around thy Neck I throw my eager Arms;
33
“Alas! (thus, fondly-anxious, I inquire.)
“What of my Weakness will They hence declare!
Yet scarce know well, or what I am or where.
Neæra smiling hears the grave Demand;
And twining round my Neck her snow-white Hand;
A Kiss with such sweet Wantoness bestows,
As not the Lips of Venus cou'd disclose!
Nor Mars receive! And laughing; “What (she cries)
“You dread the solid Judgments of the Wise?
“Regard Them not, while I your Cause approve;
“At my Tribunal try'd, by Laws of Love!
