TO CELIA (WHO REFUSES TO BE DRAWN INTO AN ARGUMENT), by                    
First Line: Dear, if you carelessly agree
Last Line: Dear, if you care!
Subject(s): Love - Complaints; Man-woman Relationships; Quarrels; Male-female Relations; Arguments; Disagreements


DEAR, if you carelessly agree,
With that so irritating air,
To every word that falls from me—
Dear, if you care

To drive a lover to despair
With bland "Oh, yes," and "Ah, I see,"—
Why, do it, if you like—so there!

It vindicates my theory
No woman's wise as well as fair;
And yet ... how clever you can be,
Dear, if you care!
