Come, how much is a kiss from that precious ruby? If a kiss is for a life, it is a duty to buy.
Since the kiss is pure and not proper to earth, I will become a disengaged spirit, I will emerge from this body.
The sea of purity said to me, “No aspiration is granted gratis; the pearl of price is with you—come, break the shell.”
For a kiss of the rose, which confers splendor on wine, the whole world is putting out its tongue like a lily.
I blunder, if you be all kings, if you be like Mars and the moon, ask not for a kiss from that untamed Darling.
Enter, moon of heaven, for I have opened the window; for one night shine on my face, press your lips on mine.
Close the door of speech and open the heart’s window; you will not obtain a kiss of this moon save by way of the window.
