Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE, LOVE ME NOW, BECAUSE I PLACE
Last Line: TO LIVE FOR EVER, WITH MY JUST.

Love, love me now, because I place
Thee here among my righteous race:
The bastard Slips may droop and die
Wanting both Root, and Earth; but thy
Immortall selfe, shall boldly trust
To live for ever, with my Just.
