English text
Come kiss me, dear Dolly", young Dorilas cried,
"And I promise tomorrow to make you my bride".
"You may kiss me as oft, dearest lad, as you will,
When the priest gives the word to coo and to bill.
'Twill be quite enough for you" she laughing replied,
"For kisses will be plenty when I am your bride".
Spoiler: revealed phrase "Come, kiss me. You may kiss my ass; 'twill be quite enough for you"
