and clear reflects thee to thine eye。
but all such rules loves magic can undo ；
here you see me； and i am you。
iii。
as no one point； nor dash；
which are but accessories to this name；
the showers and tempests can outwash
so shall all times find me the same ；
you this entireness better may fulfill；
who have the pattern with you still。
iv。
or if too hard and deep
this learning be； for a scratchd name to teach；
it as a given deaths head keep；
lovers mortality to preach ；
or think this ragged bony name to be
my ruinous anatomy。
v。
then； as all my souls be
emparadised in you—in whom alone
i understand； and grow； and see—
the rafters of my body； bone；
being still with you； the muscle； sinew； and vein
which tile this house； will e again。
vi。
till my return repair
and repact my scatterd body so；
as all the virtuous powers which are
fixd in the stars are said to flow
into such characters as gravèd be
when these stars have supremacy。
vii。
so since this name was cut；
when love and grief their exaltation had；
no door gainst this names influence shut。
as much more loving； as more sad；
twill make thee ； and thou shouldst； till i return；
since i die daily； daily mourn。
viii。
when thy inconsiderate hand
flings open this casement； with my trembling name；
to look on one； whose wit or land
new battery to thy heart may frame；
then think this name alive； and that thou thus
in it offendst my genius。
ix。
and when thy melted maid；
corrupted by thy lovers gold and page；
his letter at thy pillow hath laid；
disputed it； and tamed thy rage；
and thou beginst to thaw towards him； for this；
may my name step in； and hide his。
x。
and if this treason go
to an overt act and that thou write again；
in superscribing； this name flow
into thy fancy from the pane ；
so； in forgetting thou remembrest right；
and unaware to me shalt write。
xi。
but glass and lines must be
no means our firm substantial love to keep ；
near death inflicts this lethargy；
and this i murmur in my sleep ；
inpute this idle talk； to that i go；
for dying men talk often so。
John Donne Selected Poems…5
生
twickenham garden。
blasted with sighs； and surrounded with tears；
hither i e to seek the spring；
and at mine eyes； and at mine ears；
receive such balms as else cure every thing。
but o ！ self…traitor； i do bring
the spider love； which transubstantiates all；
and can convert manna to gall ；
and that this place may thoroughly be thought
true paradise； i have the serpent brought。
twere wholesomer for me that winter did
benight the glory of this place；
and that a grave frost did forbid
these trees to laugh and mock me to my face ；
but that i may not this disgrace
endure； nor yet leave loving； love； let me
some senseless piece of this place be ；
make me a mandrake； so i may grow here；
or a stone fountain weeping out my year。
hither with crystal phials； lovers； e；
and take my tears； which are loves wine；
and try your mistress tears at home；
for all are false； that taste not just like mine。
alas ！ hearts do not in eyes shine；
nor can you more judge womens thoughts by tears；
than by her shadow what she wears。
o perverse sex； where none is true but she；
whos therefore true； because her truth kills me。
valediction to his book。
ill tell thee now （dear love） what thou shalt do
to anger destiny； as she doth us ；
how i shall stay； though she eloign me thus；
and how posterity shall know it too ；
how thine may out…endure
sibyls glory； and obscure
her who from pindar could allure；
and her； through whose help lucan is not lame；
and her； whose book （they say） homer did find； and name。
study our manuscripts； those myriads
of letters； which have past twixt thee and me ；
thence write our annals； and in them will be
to all whom loves subliming fire invades；
rule and example found ；
there the faith of any ground
no schismatic will dare to wound；
that sees； how love this grace to us affords；
to make； to keep； to use； to be these his records。
this book； as long…lived as the elements；
or as the worlds form； this all…gravèd tome
in cypher writ； or new made idiom ；
we for loves clergy only are instruments ；
when this book is made thus；
should again the ravenous
vandals and goths invade us；
learning were safe ； in this our universe；
schools might learn sciences； spheres music； angels verse。
here loves divines—since all divinity
is love or wonder—may find all they seek；
whether abstract spiritual love they like；
their souls exhaled with what they do not see ；
or； loth so to amuse
faiths infirmity； they choose
something which they may see and use ；
for； though mind be the heaven； where love doth sit；
beauty a convenient type may be to figure it。
here more than in their books may lawyers find；
both by what titles mistresses are ours；
and how prerogative these states devours；
transferrd from love himself； to womankind ；
who； though from heart and eyes；
they exact great subsidies；
forsake him who on them relies ；
and for the cause； honour； or conscience give ；
chimeras vain as they or their prerogative。
here statesmen—or of them； they which can read—
may of their occupation find the grounds ；
love； and their art； alike it deadly wounds；
if to consider what tis； one proceed。
in both they do excel
who the present govern well；
whose weakness none doth； or dares tell ；
in this thy book； such will there something see；
as in the bible some can find out alchemy。
thus vent thy thoughts ； abroad ill study thee；
as he removes far off； that great heights takes ；
how great love is； presence best trial makes；
but absence tries how long this love will be ；
to take a latitude
sun； or stars； are fitliest viewd
at their brightest； but to conclude
of longitudes； what other way have we；
but to mark when and where the dark eclipses be？
munity。
good we must love； and must hate ill；
for ill is ill； and good good still ；
but there are things indifferent；
which wee may neither hate； nor love；
but one； and then another prove；
as we shall find our fancy bent。
if then at first wise nature had
made women either good or bad；
then some wee might hate； and some choose ；
but since she did them so create；
that we may neither love； nor hate；
only this rests； all all may use。
if they were good it would be seen ；
good is as visible as green；
and to all eyes itself betrays。
if they were bad； they could not last ；
bad doth itself； and others waste ；
so they deserve nor blame； nor praise。
but they are ours as fruits are ours ；
he that but tastes； he that devours；
and he that leaves all； doth as well ；
changed loves are but changed sorts of meat ；
and when he hath the kernel eat；
who doth not fling away the shell？
loves growth。
