William Shakespeare (1564–1616) |
| | | O MISTRESS 1 mine, where are you roaming? | |
| O, stay and hear! your true love ’s coming, | |
| That can sing both high and low: | |
| Trip no further, pretty sweeting; | |
| Journeys end in lovers’ meeting, | 5 |
| Every wise man’s son doth know. | |
| |
| What is love? ’tis not hereafter; | |
| Present mirth hath present laughter; | |
| What ’s to come is still unsure: | |
| In delay there lies no plenty; | 10 |
| Then come kiss me, sweet-and-twenty, | |
| Youth ’s a stuff will not endure. | |
