2. To A Kiss by Robert Burns:
   
   "Humid seal of soft affections, Tend'rest pledge of future bliss, Dearest tie of young connections, Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.
   
   Speaking silence, dumb confession, Passion's birth, and infants' play, Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, Glowing dawn of brighter day.
   
   Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action, Ling'ring lips, -- no more to join! What words can ever speak affection Thrilling and sincere as thine!"

3. From Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare
   
   "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 sealed in vain, -Sealed in vain!"
