To his Love whom he had kissed against her Will

ALAS, Madam, for stealing of a kiss,

Have I so much your mind therein offended?

Or have I done so grievously amiss,

That by no means it may not be amended?

Revenge you then: the readiest way is this;

Another kiss, my life it shall have ended;

For to my mouth the first my heart did suck;

The next shall clean out of my breast it pluck.
