138. Take, O take those Lips away

William Shakespeare. 1564-1616


TAKE, O take those lips away,
  That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
  Lights that do mislead the morn!
But my kisses bring again,
              Bring again;
Seals of love, but seal'd in vain,
              Seal'd in vain!
