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. |
