Leigh Hunt: Jenny Kiss'd Me

.

The Stolen Kiss: Jean-Honoré Fragonard, 1787-1789 (The Hermitage, St. Petersburg)

Jenny kiss'd me when we met,
. Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
. Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
. Say that health and wealth have miss'd me,
Say I'm growing old, but add,
. . Jenny kiss'd me.
