THE BRACELET OF PEARLE: TO SILVIA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I brake thy bracelet 'gainst my will
Last Line: Cleave thou my heart in two.
Subject(s): Jewelry & Jewelers; Rings; Bracelets; Necklaces


I brake thy Bracelet 'gainst my will;
And, wretched, I did see
Thee discomposed then, and still
Art discontent with me.

One jemme was lost; and I will get
A richer pearle for thee,
Then ever, dearest Silvia, yet
Was drunk to Antonie.

Or, for revenge, I'le tell thee what
Thou for the breach shalt do;
First, crack the strings, and after that,
Cleave thou my heart in two.
