Poems:
Paradox
My dear, my dear, canst though resolve for me
This paradox of love concerning thee:
Mine eyes, when opened, with thy beauty fill -
But when they're closed they see the better still.
***
To a Herrickose Swain
If you dare ask no kiss,
And dare not beg a smile,
Nor sue that, or this,
She'll grow bored the while.
And if you merely hope
To kiss the air that kissed her,
You'll get the air, you dope -
And she a smarter mister!
