Robert Herrick - The Bracelet to Julia
Work rating: Medium

	Why I tie about thy wrist,
	Julia, this silken twist;
	For what other reason is `t
	
	But to show thee how, in part,
	Thou my pretty captive art?
	But thy bond slave is my heart:
	
	`tis but silk that bindeth thee,
	Knap the thread and thou art free;
	But `tis otherwise with me:
	
	-I am bound and fast bound, so
	That from thee I cannot go;
	If I could, I would not so.
