A RECEIPT TO CURE A LOVE FIT, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Tie one end of a rope fast over a beam Last Line: And leave all the rest of the work to the string Subject(s): Crickets;healing;love;swings; Cures | ||||||||
TIE one end of a rope fast over a beam, And make a slip-noose at the other extreme; Then just underneath let a cricket be set, On which let the lover most manfully get; Then over his head let the snecket be got, And under one ear be well settled the knot. The cricket kicked down, let him take a fair swing; And leave all the rest of the work to the string. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONE VOLUME MISSING by RITA DOVE READING HOLDERLIN ON THE PATIO WITH THE AID OF A DICTIONARY by RITA DOVE BANGLA DESH: 2.
