HIS PROTESTATION TO PERILLA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Noone-day and midnight shall at once be seene
Last Line: False to my vow, or fall away from thee.


Noone-day and Midnight shall at once be seene:
Trees, at one time, shall be both sere and greene:
Fire and water shall together lye
In one-self-sweet-conspiring sympathie:
Summer and Winter shall at one time show
Ripe eares of corne, and up to th'eares in snow:
Seas shall be sandlesse; Fields devoid of grasse;
Shapelesse the world (as when all Chaos was)
Before, my deare Perilla, I will be
False to my vow, or fall away from thee.
