I'm pining, from that lady gay
A kiss to take or steal away;
And should the deed her coyness pain,
I'd freely give it back again.

Cp. Catullus 5, l. 7, and Raoul de Soissons, from the Anthologie Françoise | How does my spirit eager pine, But once to press those lips of thine;— [...] And if the theft Thine ire awake, A hundred fold I'd give it back.
