A JET RING SENT, by JOHN DONNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Thou art not so black, as my heart Last Line: She that, oh, broke her faith, would soon breake thee. Subject(s): Jewelry & Jewelers; Rings; Bracelets; Necklaces | |||
Thou art not so black, as my heart, Nor halfe so brittle, as her heart, thou art; What would'st thou say? shall both our properties by thee bee spoke, Nothing more endlesse, nothing sooner broke? Marriage rings are not of this stuffe; Oh, why should ought lesse precious, or lesse tough Figure our loves? Except in thy name thou have bid it say, I'am cheap, and nought but fashion, fling me'away. Yet stay with mee since thou art come, Circle this fingers top, which did'st her thombe. Be justly proud, and gladly safe, that thou dost dwell with me, She that, Oh, broke her faith, would soon breake thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOST JEWEL by EMILY DICKINSON THE BRACELET: TO JULIA by ROBERT HERRICK ANTIQUE JEWELER by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER MY JEWEL CASE by BESSE BURNETT BELL A JEWELLED SELL by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS A MARRIAGE RING by GEORGE CRABBE ON RECEIVING FROM A LADY A PRESENT OF A RING by GEORGE CRABBE I WEAR A JEWEL by JAMES P.
