| To Anthea, Who May Command Him Anything... Robert Herrick... |
|
Bid me to live, and I will live Thy protestant to he: Or bid me love, and I will give A loving heart to thee. |
|
A heart as soft, a heart as kind, A heart as sound and free As in the whole world thou canst find, That heart I'll give to thee. |
|
Bid that heart stay, and it will stay, To honor thy decree: Or bid it languish quite away, And 't shall do so for thee. |
|
Bid me to weep, and I will weep While I have eyes to see: And having none, yet I will keep A heart to weep for thee. |
|
Bid me despair, and I'll despair, Under that cypress tree: Or bid me die, and I will dare E'en Death, to die for thee. |
|
Thou art my life, my love, my heart, The very eyes of me, And hast command of every part, To live and die for thee. |
