2014-11-07 14 Dailymotion

My dearest Love, since thou wilt go, <br />And leave me here behind thee; <br />For love or pity, let me know <br />The place where I may find thee. <br /> <br />AMARIL. In country meadows, pearl'd with dew, <br />And set about with lilies; <br />There, filling maunds with cowslips, you <br />May find your Amarillis. <br /> <br />HER. What have the meads to do with thee, <br />Or with thy youthful hours? <br />Live thou at court, where thou mayst be <br />The queen of men, not flowers. <br /> <br />Let country wenches make 'em fine <br />With posies, since 'tis fitter <br />For thee with richest gems to shine, <br />And like the stars to glitter. <br /> <br />AMARIL. You set too-high a rate upon <br />A shepherdess so homely. <br />HER. Believe it, dearest, there's not one <br />I' th' court that's half so comely. <br /> <br />I prithee stay. AMARIL. I must away; <br />Let's kiss first, then we'll sever; <br />AMBO And though we bid adieu to day, <br />We shall not part for ever.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dialogue-betwixt-himself-and-mistress-elizawhe/
