TO ELECTRA (3), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ile come to thee in all those shapes
Last Line: We'll weary all the fables there.
Subject(s): Love - Erotic


Ile come to thee in all those shapes
As Jove did, when he made his rapes:
Onely, Ile not appeare to thee,
As he did once to Semele.
Thunder and Lightning Ile lay by,
To talk with thee familiarly.
Which done, then quickly we'll undresse
To one and th'others nakednesse.
And ravisht, plunge into the bed,
(Bodies and souls commingled)
And kissing, so as none may heare,
We'll weary all the Fables there.
