THE COQUETTE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Yearn thou may'st
Last Line: And will.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


Yearn thou may'st:
Thou shalt not see
My wasting love
For thee.

Lean thy tresses;
Fair that fruit;
Slim as warbling bird's
Thy throat.

Peep thou then:
Doubt not some swain
Will of thy still decoy
Be fain.

But I? In sooth --
Nay, gaze thy fill!
Scorn thee I must,
And will.
