The Canonization
| 001 | FOR God's sake hold your tongue, |
| 002 | let me love; |
| 003 | Or chide my palsy, or my gout; My five gray hairs, or ruin'd fortune flout; |
| 004 | Take you a course, |
| 005 | get you a place, |
| 006 | Observe his Honour, or his Grace; Or the king's real, or his stamp'd face |
| 007 | Contemplate; what you will, |
| 008 | approve, |
| 009 | Call's what you will, |
| 010 | Call her one, me another fly, |
| 011 | thus invoke us, "You, whom reverend love Made one another's hermitage; You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage; Who did the whole world's soul contract, and drove Into the glasses of your eyes; So made such mirrors, and such spies, That they did all to you epitomize— Countries, towns, courts beg from above A pattern of your love." |
The Sun Rising
| 001 | Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide Late school-boys and sour prentices, |
| 002 | Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride, |
| 003 | Call country ants to harvest offices; |
| 004 | Look, |
| 005 | tell me, Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine Be where thou left'st them, or lie here with me. |
| 006 | Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday, |
| 007 | Shine here to us, |
The Flea
| 001 | MARK but this flea, |
| 002 | mark in this, How little that which thou deniest me is; It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be. |
| 003 | O stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, yea, more than married are. |
| 004 | Let not to that self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three. |
Air and Angels
| 001 | Love must not be |
| 002 | take a body too |
The Indifferent
| 001 | Let me—and do you—twenty know; |
| 002 | Rob me, |
| 003 | bind me not, |
| 004 | let me go. |
| 005 | You shall be true to them who're false to you.' |
The Undertaking
| 001 | keep that hid. |
Valediction to His Book
| 001 | Study our manuscripts, |
| 002 | write our annals, |
| 003 | vent thy thoughts; |
The Dream
| 001 | Enter these arms, |
| 002 | let's act the rest. |
