The Bracelet To Julia

Title:     The Bracelet To Julia
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Why I tie about thy wrist,
Julia, this my silken twist?
For what other reason is't,
But to shew thee how in part
Thou my pretty captive art?
But thy bond-slave is my heart;
'Tis but silk that bindeth thee,
Knap the thread and thou art free;
But 'tis otherwise with me;
I am bound, and fast bound so,
That from thee I cannot go;
If I could, I would not so.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Bracelet To Julia
