The Flea Flashcards
“How little that which, ….
thou deny’st me is”
“It sucked me first, and now sucks thee, ….
//And in this flea our two bloods mingled be”
“And pampered swells with one….
blood made of two”
“And this, alas! ….
is more than we would do”
“Oh stay, three lives, ….
in one flea spare”
“Where we almost, nay, ….
more than married are”
“This flea is you and I, and this, ….
//Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is”
“Though parents grudge, ….
and you, we’re met”
“Let not to this, ….
self murder added be”
“And sacrilege, ….
three sins in killing three”
“Cruel and sudden, hast thou since, ….
//Purpled thy nail, in blood of innocence”
“Yet thou triumph’st, and say’st that thou, ….
//Find’st not thyself, nor me the weaker now”
“‘Tis true, then learn….
how false, fears be”
“Just so much honour, ….
when thou yield’st to me”
“Will waste, as this flea’s, ….
death took life from thee”
