Why I tie about thy wrist, <br />Julia, this silken twist; <br />For what other reason 'tis <br />But to show thee how, in part, <br />Thou my pretty captive art? <br />But thy bond slave is my heart: <br />'tis but silk that bindeth thee, <br />Knap the thread and thou art free; <br />But 'tis otherwise with me: <br />-I am bound and fast bound, so <br />That from thee I cannot go; <br />If I could, I would not so.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bracelet-to-julia/
