This keepes my hands <br />From Cupid's bands. <br /> <br /> <br />Goe, keepe that hand <br />From Hymen's band. <br /> <br /> <br />Silke though thou bee <br />More soft is hee\shee <br />That weareth thee. <br /> <br /> <br />Vouchsafe my prisoners thus to bee-- <br />Hee\Shee's faster bound that sent it thee. <br /> <br /> <br />When you putt on this little band <br />Think then I take you by the hand<br /><br />William Strode<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/posies-bracelets/
