THE lady who my thoughts does captive take One day said something which I value so, That I no other recompense can make, But the words printed in my heart to show.

I answered her, 'Not mine I wish to call So vast a treasure, for I truly say I reason have to fear, if this befall, Since love with tenfold loving I repay.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER AUGHRIM by ARTHUR GERALD GEOGHEGAN THE STORY OF AUGUSTUS WHO WOULD NOT HAVE ANY SOUP by HEINRICH HOFFMANN THE WINGED WORSHIPPERS; ADDRESSED TO TWO SWALLOWS ..
