When she kisses you!
(Francis Quarles, 1592-1644)
Do you think, my soul, to be made happy by the smiles of the world–or unhappy by her frowns?
When she fawns upon you, she deludes you.
When she kisses you, she betrays you.
Like Jael, she brings the milk in a lordly dish, and bears a hammer in her deadly hand.
Trust not her flattery, O my soul–nor let her malice move you.
Her music is your enchantment, and her sweetness is your snare!
She is the highway to eternal death!
