AN ASSURANCE, by NICHOLAS BRETON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Say that I should say I love ye Last Line: You are blessèd out of measure. Subject(s): Love; Truth | ||||||||
SAY that I should say I love ye, Would you say 'tis but a saying? But if Love in prayers move ye, Will ye not be moved with praying? Think I think that Love should know ye, Will you think 'tis but a thinking? But if Love the thought do show ye, Will ye loose your eyes with winking? Write that I do write you blessed, Will you write 'tis but a writing? But if Truth and Love confess it, Will ye doubt the true inditing? No, I say, and think, and write it, Write, and think, and say your pleasure; Love, and truth, and I indite it, You are blessèd out of measure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INCLINED TO SPEAK by LAWRENCE JOSEPH WHAT IS TRUTH? by JOHN BOWRING EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV LYING MY HEAD OFF by CATE MARVIN TRUTH SERUM by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE FROST AND HIS ENEMIES by ROBERT BLY A SWEET LULLABY by NICHOLAS BRETON PHYLLIDA AND CORYDON by NICHOLAS BRETON THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD: PASTORAL 3.
