My love and I for kisses play'd,
Shee would keepe stake, I was content,
But when I wonne shee would be paid;
This made mee aske her what she meant.
Pray, since I see (quoth she) your wrangling vayne,
Take your owne kisses, give me myne againe.'

Cp. other readings: My Love and I, for kisses played. She would keep stakes. I was content. But when I won, She would be paid! This made me ask her, What She meant? 'Nay, since I see,' quoth She, 'your wrangling vein; Take your own kisses! and I'll take mine again!' —E. Arber, ed. The Jonson Anthology: 1617–1637 A.D. (1899), p. 238
