that Oliver Twist did-for more
kiss" and ''blissn rhyme admirably, and,
of course, the pleasing custom has been well
descanted upon by the poets. Cartos would
surfeit, so we merely subjoin few couplets,
those most varied in their conceits.
Beginning with Shakespeare, we take occa-
sion to say that he had no patience
with kisses that were not substantial
He says:
Some there be that shadows kiss;
Such have but a shadows bliss
He didn't like them diluted. Byron, on the
other hand, considered them rather evanes-
cent:
Why so suddenly art thou gone?
Lost in the moment thou art won.
While Dryden gives them sort Of after
math that is truly delicious:
The sweetness hung upon my lips all day.
Like drops of honey loath to fall away
We have heard of kisses tingling clear
down to the toes of ones boots. Possibly an
exaggeration, and yet the same poet mentions
one in which he
Felt the while a pleasing kind Of smart
The kissing went tingling to his heart
Drayton hated to be tantalized. He
wouldn't feed OH husks He wanted the whole
heart thrown into the operations:
Her poor half kisses killed me quite;
Was ever man thus serveds
Amidst an ocean of delight
For pleasure to be starved?
Schiller INDUCES in an ardent outburst:
Who made thy glances to my soul the link?
Who make me burn thy very soul to drinks
Tennyson is satisfied little short of del
uge:
Oioyi o bliss of bEsses.
Come battle Inc with thy kisses!
According to John Lyly, Campaspe held a
winning hand every time:
Cupid and my Campaspe played
At cards for kisses; Cupid paid.
Coquettes are not chary enough with
their kisses. Parnell gives this couplet at
them:
Then in Kiss she breathed her various arts.
Of trifling prettily with human hearts.
Thomas Lodge seemed to have a penchant
for incessant kissing:
My kisses are his daily feast,
And yet he robs me OF my rest.
Sir William Davenant believed that their
charm consisted in their nanbers and their
apidity-Gatling-gun style:
Her kisses faster, though unknown before:
Than blossoms sweeter, and in numbers more
George Withers betrayed the same weak
ness:
Like doves we would be billing,
And clip and kiss 50 fast,
Yet shewuuld be unwilling
That should kiss tho hast.
Campello understood how precious they were
during courtstzp;
How delicious is the winning
or kiss at loves beginningl
Sodid Buckman:
And happy things were said and kisses won,
And serious gladness foand it's vent in fun.
Ebene0er Elliott dedlesseach kiss might
he the last:
lever tremble in my bliss,
For theIeare farewel}s in kiss
Dodsley was willing to take his, whatever
the risk:
One kiss before we part,
Though we sever, fond my heart.
Charlotte r. Bates parts With her kisses be-
grudgingly:
All the kisses have given grudge
From my soul to-day;
And of all I have ever taken I would
Wipe the thought away.
While Thomas Caven had the impudence
to say that he didn't care fo1 his sweetheart's
kisses:
do not love thee for those soft,
Red coral lips I've kissed so oft.
Kisses are nice just after quarrel One
forgives so largely. At least SO Hugh Con-
way thought
And if her eyes are dim with tears,
grudge them not their tender rain;
My love can charm the misty fears,
And kiss the sunshine back again.
Ashley Sterry saucily tells US how he would
prevent q quarrel IN advancing:
And il she dared h1 lips to pout,
Like many port young misses,
I'd wind nay arm her waist about
And punish her with kisses
We close with little waif, author IN.
known to Us:
Ny love aud I for kisses played;
She would keep STAKES, wus content;
But when won she wocld b paid;
Thfe made me ask her wfntshs meant
Qnoth she, "Sance you gro IN tins wsaaglfng
vein,
Here take yuur kissu--giye metn1ine again."
