NOW THAT SHE GIVES, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Now that she gives my love consent
Last Line: "should burn in hell for such a part!"
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Love - Age Differences


NOW that she gives my love consent,
I hear an evil spirit near;
A mocking spirit, day and night,
That whispers threats in either ear.

"Since you are twice her age," it says,
"Thick-lipped, with features large and coarse;
And she, so young and beautiful,
Could all her life do nothing worse;

"Since she, poor girl, mistakes for love
The feelings that possess her heart --
She must be daft, and you, strong wretch,
Should burn in hell for such a part!"
