Whisper
We whispered those lustful affections in each other ears
secretive we were, hoping no one could hear
this conversation remained steadfast, for about an hour it last
predicting our future and remembering that joyful past
what our future will be we wonder
perishing the thought of it falling down in yonder
a hope that this fruitful love cherish in bliss
a matrimony that leads our lips to kiss
Let us soak this affection in our brain
in our thoughts this shall remain.
