My only love comes from my true hate
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss
cuz its all
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged
Then have my lips the sin that they have took
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.
You kiss by the book
