And the wench doth bawdness to blow,Stay my adamant –Suffer me to transfix thee;And the wench doth bawdness to blow,Let me dawt […]

Sweet Art Thou

Stay still patient; wilt thou my sister of merciful troth be?I shall attempt the halter of thy life make less lighten’d! I shall climb the yew,Will it subdue me or not!
