TO LUCASTA: HER RESERVED LOOKS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Lucasta, frown and let me die
Last Line: An angel here, the devil there.
Subject(s): Indifference


LUCASTA, frown and let me die,
But smile and see I live;
The sad indifference of your eye
Both kills and doth reprieve.
You hide our fate within its screen,
We feel our judgment ere we hear:
So in one picture I have seen
An angel here, the Devil there.
