Random Poem of the Day
2School'd onely by his mothers tender eye:
3What wonder then if he his lesson misse,
5And yet my Starre, because a sugred kisse
6In sport I suckt, while she a sleepe did lie,
8Sweet, it was saucie Loue, not humble I.
9But no scuse serues, she makes her wrath appeare
10In Beauties throne, see now who dares come neare
12O heau'nly foole, thy most kisse-worthie face,
13Anger invests with such a louely grace,
14That Anger selfe I needs must kisse againe.
