Of Lesbias kissing craft
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 4
Social Commentaries
LEsbia with study found a meanes in th' end,
In presence of her Lord to kisse her friend,
Each of them kist by turnes a little Whelpe,
Transporting kisses thus by puppies helpe.
And so her good old Lord she did beguise:
Was not my Lord a puppy all the while?
