To Mr T. W
At once, from hence, my lines and I depart,I to my soft still walks, they to my heart;
I to the nurse, they to the child of art;
Yet as a firm house, though the carpenter
Perish, doth stand: as an ambassador
Lies safe, howe'er his king be in danger:
So, though I languish, pressed with melancholy,
My verse, the strict map of my misery,
Shall live to see that, for whose want I die.
Therefore I envy them, and do repent,
That from unhappy me, things happy are sent;
Yet as a picture, or bare sacrament,
Accept these lines, and if in them there be
Merit of love, bestow that love on me.Englishlove poemlove poemslove poems for herlove poetrypoems about loveromantic poems
