“One Evening to Kiss”
Anonymous(From Bristol Drollery, c. 1674) ONE Evening to kiss | |
| I walk’d with my Miss, | |
| And straight to a Grove we came; | |
| Where in the cool shade | |
| We sported and played | 5 |
| And eased us of our flame, | |
| But oh, then how her eyes did discover, | |
| The delight she receiv’d from her Lover. | |
| The Dew ’gan to fall | |
| And the night birds to call, | 10 |
| So homewards went Chloris and I, | |
| To speak of our Joys, | |
| And such other toys, | |
| Would make your Love Passions run high: | |
| But oh, how her eyes her delight did discover, | 15 |
| While I played the part of a hot-mettled Lover. | |
