If it be so that I forsake thee, As banished from thy company, Yet my heart, my mind, and mine affection Shall still remain in thy perfection; And right as thou list so order me. But some would say in their opinion Revolted is thy good intention; Then may I well blame thy cruelty, If it be so. But myself I say on this fashion: I have here heart in my possession, And of itself there cannot, perdy, By no means love an heartless body; And on my faith, good is the reason, If it be so. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE PROPOSAL TO ERECT A MONUMENT IN ENGLAND TO LORD BYRON by EMMA LAZARUS GIANT RED WOMAN by CLARENCE MAJOR HUFFMAN'S PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GRAVES OF THE UNKNOWN AT LITTLE BIGHORN by KAREN SWENSON TO A DOG by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY ON HIS RETURN FROM SPAIN by THOMAS WYATT THE BABY-HOUSE by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE ASSUMPTION by JOHN BEAUMONT A POEM, DEDICATED TO WILLIAM LAW, PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY by ROBERT BLAIR |
