Katie's Kisses

To me Katie I said, "It'e a tasto Uv tbim lips that 1M have, an' indadc They beli ng to me now wid yersilf, An' 60 purty fur kissin' were made." But ehe aDBWprcd an' tould me, wid eyes Tbat no star in the sky eould eclipse, "An' it's thrue thty belong to yer3ilf, Sure how 'ud ye kiss yer own lips!" "Just as aisy,:' I cried, "as to spake, An' swater nor honey. The sun Ia cowlder by far." But sbe vowed The likee uvit couldn't be donp. Th in I offered the same to restore Wid ;i seal just as thrue as the day ; Büt she said, "I 'ud niver take back What once I had given away." "An' 111 Hud ye the loan ut cm, dear," I replied; but wid infinite scern She axed, did I think that her lips Were made f ur to rint or to pawn f Thln I sat just as mute as a stone, An' niver a word did I say, Till Katie, onaisy like pouted her Ups (Och, the rogue!) in a ravishln' way, An' wid dimplfs to timpt all the saints, An' wid blufhes 'way up to her brow, As eoft as an angel she 6pake, " 'Ud ye like To be lindin' the loan uv 'emnow!"
