Ametas <br />Think'st Thou that this Love can stand, <br />Whilst Thou still dost say me nay? <br />Love unpaid does soon disband: <br />Love binds Love as Hay binds Hay. <br /> <br />Thestylis <br />Think'st Thou that this Rope would twine <br />If we both should turn one way? <br />Where both parties so combine, <br />Neither Love will twist nor Hay. <br /> <br />Ametas <br />Thus you vain Excuses find, <br />Which your selve and us delay: <br />And Love tyes a Womans Mind <br />Looser then with Ropes of Hay. <br /> <br />Thestylis <br />What you cannot constant hope <br />Must be taken as you may. <br /> <br />Ametas <br />Then let's both lay by our Rope, <br />And go kiss within the Hay.<br /><br />Andrew Marvell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ametas-and-thestylis-making-hay-ropes/
