Poet Analysis

First Line: HATE WHOM YE LIST FOR I CARE NOT
Last Line: BUT LOVE WHOM YE LIST, FOR I CARE NOT.
Subject(s): HATE; LOVE;
Hate whom ye list, for I care not;
Love whom ye list and spare not;
Do what ye list and dread not;
Think what ye list, I fear not.
For as for me I am not,
But even as one that recks not
Whether ye hate or hate not;
For in your love I dote not;
Wherefore I pray you, forget not,
But love whom ye list, for I care not.
