To His Mistress

Choose me your Valentine;

Next, let us marry;

Love to the death will pine

If we long tarry.

Promise and keep your vows.

Or vow ye never;

Love's doctrine disallows

Troth-breakers ever.

You have broke promise twice,

Dear, to undo me;

If you prove faithless thrice,

None then will woo ye.

--_Robert Herrick_
