Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE SCORCH'D MY FINGER, BUT DID SPARE
Last Line: ERE I WO'D LOVE AT ALL.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Love scorch'd my finger, but did spare
The burning of my heart:
To signifie, in Love my share
Sho'd be a little part.

Little I love; but if that he
Wo'd but that heat recall:
That joynt to ashes sho'd be burnt,
Ere I wo'd love at all.
