Poet Analysis

First Line: STAY WHILE YE WILL, OR GO
Last Line: I'M SURE TO FIND YE THERE.

STAY while ye will, or go,
And leave no scent behind ye:
Yet trust me, I shall know
The place where I may find ye.

Within my Lucia's cheek,
(Whose livery ye wear)
Play ye at hide or seek.
I'm sure to find ye there.
