“Here come and sit, where never serpent hisses;
And being set, I ’ll smother thee with kisses;
"And yet not cloy thy lips with loath’d satiety,
But rather famish them amid their plenty,
Making them red and pale with fresh variety --
Ten kisses short as one, one long as twenty:
A summer’s day will seem an hour but short,
Being wasted in such time-beguiling sport.”

William Shakespeare,
Venus and Adonis
