Kisses — A Companion

Kate's kisses loud and long resound,
Sue's kisses bite until they wound,
I wonder if they sweeter taste
Than Lucy's kisses soft and chaste.
My lips alone can judges be,
Methinks I'll try them both and see.

But no, I'm wrong. I will not prove
Unfaithful to my faithful love.
None else may match with Lucy's lips
Wherefrom the bee his honey sips.
The prize is hers, my verdict given,
No need to seek a fairer heaven.
