Vanity Fair

BALLET FOR ST. VALENTINE'S DAY

Love guards the roses of thy lips And flies about them like a bee; If I approach he forward skips, And if I kiss he stingeth me.

Love, let me cull her choicest flowers; And pity me, and calm her eye;

Make soft her heart, dissolve her lowers Then will I praise thy deity.

—Thomas Lodge (1556-1625)
