TO HIS MISTRESS.
by Robert Herrick
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.
