Robert Herrick - A Ring Presented to Julia
Work rating: Low

Julia, I bring 
  To thee this Ring. 
Made for thy finger fit; 
  To shew by this, 
  That our love is 
(Or sho`d be) like to it. 

  Close though it be, 
  The joynt is free: 
So when Love`s yoke is on, 
  It must not gall, 
  Or fret at all 
With hard oppression. 

  But it must play 
  Still either way; 
And be, too, such a yoke, 
  As not too wide, 
  To over-slide; 
Or be so strait to choak. 

  So we, who beare, 
  The beame, must reare 
Our selves to such a height: 
  As that the stay 
  Of either may 
Create the burden light. 

  And as this round 
  Is no where found 
To flaw, or else to sever: 
  So let our love 
  As endless prove; 
And pure as Gold for ever.
