Listen in the reader

Thrice on the lips and twice on the eyes I kiss you or ever I kiss your bosom.-- When love is young would you have it wise, Wise as the world goes?--No! 'tis a blossom Lovely and wise since it's lovely; content To live or to die as its folly pleases: Life is a rose and the rose's scent Is love, that grows as the rose increases.
