Forgive, ah, forgive, Madame, the stealing of a
kiss,
Oh have I done a thing so grievously amiss,
Have I so much your mind and heart therein
offended?
That by no means of mine it may not be
amended?
If revenge then you seek, the readiest way is this
My life had soon been ended if it had another
kiss,
The first sweet kiss to my mouth my heart did
suck
The next clean out of my breast my tender
heart shall pluck.
