Inchtabokatables Confined Love
(John Donne, 1573-1631) some man unworthy to be possesor of old or new love himself being false or weak thought his pain and shame would be lesser from womankind he might his anger wreak hey and thance a low did grow one should but one man know but are other creatures so but are other creatures so are some of the stars by law forbidden to smile with the list or lend away their light are birds devorced or are they chidden if they leave their maid or lie abroad a night. beasts do no jointures loose though they new lovers choose but we are made worse than those , but we are made worse than those. who e`er rigged fair ship to lie in harbours and not to seek new lands, or not to deal withal or built fair houses, set trees, and arbours, only to lock up, or else to let them fall ? good is not good, unless a thousand it possess, but doth waste with greediness. but doth waste with greediness.
