Come kiss me, little Charmer,
Nor suppose a kiss can harm you;
Kisses given, kisses taken,
Cannot now your fears awaken;
Give me then a hundred kisses
Number well those sweetest blisses,
And, on my life, I tell you true,
Tenfold I’ll repay what’s due,
When to snatch a kiss is bolder
And my fair one’s ten years older.
(Gotthold Ephraim Lessing)
