Kissing Usury

Title:     Kissing Usury
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Biancha, let
Me pay the debt
I owe thee for a kiss
Thou lend'st to me;
And I to thee
Will render ten for this.

If thou wilt say,
Ten will not pay
For that so rich a one;
I'll clear the sum,
If it will come
Unto a million.

He must of right,
To th' utmost mite,
Make payment for his pleasure,
(By this I guess)
Of happiness
Who has a little measure.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Kissing Usury
