John Donne - The ApparitionJohn Donne - The Apparition
Work rating: Low


When by thy scorne, O murdresse, I am dead,     And that thou thinkst thee free From all solicitation from mee, Then shall my ghost come to thy bed, And thee, fain`d vestall, in worse armes shall see; Then thy sicke taper will begin to winke, And he,whose thou art then, being tyr`d before, Will, if thou stirre, or pinch to wake him, thinke     Thou call`st for more, And in false sleepe will from thee shrinke, And then poore Aspen wretch, neglected thou Bath`d in a cold quicksilver swear wilt lye     A veryer ghost than I; What I will say, I will not tell thee now, Lest that preserve thee; and since my love is spent, I`had rather thou shouldst painfully repent, Than by my threatenings rest still innocent.
