John Donne - The TokenJohn Donne - The Token
Work rating: Low


Send me some token, that my hope may live,  Or that my easeless thoughts may sleep and rest; Send me some honey to make sweet my hive,  That in my passions I may hope the best. I beg no riband wrought with thine own hands,  To knit our loves in the fantastic strain Of new-touched youth; nor ring to show the stands  Of our affection, that as that`s round and plain, So should our loves meet in simplicity;  No, nor the corals which thy wrist enfold, Laced up together in congruity,  To show our thoughts should rest in the same hold; No, nor thy picture, though most gracious,  And most desired, because best like the best; Nor witty lines, which are most copious,  Within the writings which thou hast addressed. Send me nor this, nor that, to increase my store, But swear thou think`st `I love thee,` and no more.
