THE TUNEFUL LIAR. UNKISSED KISSES. They fell of unkissed kisses, But this we apprehend, That kisses kissed arc better, More easy to comprehend. We don’t regret kissed kisses, ’Tis unkissed ones we mourn ; Such golden chances wasted Are losses hardly borne. Though not, perhaps, aesthetic, The old-style kisses kissed, Compared with unkissed kisses, Are surely to be missed. We know not unkissed kisses, But kisses kissed we know ; Defying fate and Oscar, Let’s keep on kissing so.— Quiz.
