Oxford Book of English Verse, Part 2 by  Arthur Quiller-Couch

Take, O Take Those Lips Away

Take, O take those lips away,

That so sweetly were forsworn;

And those eyes, the break of day,

Lights that do mislead the morn!

But my kisses bring again,

Bring again;

Seals of love, but seal'd in vain,

Seal'd in vain!

— William Shakespeare
1564-1616
