ENGL 3P22 Final Flashcards by Emily Fitch

Name the author and poem: 
A cuff neglectful, and thereby 
Ribands to flow confusedly; 
A winning wave, deserving note, 
In the tempestuous petticoat; 
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie 
I see a wild civility: 
Do more bewitch me, than when art 
Is too precise in every part.

Name the author and poem:
Divided joyes are tedious found, 
And griefs united easier grow : 
We are our selves but by rebound, 
And all our Titles shuffled so, 
Both Princes, and both Subjects too.

Name the author and poem:
True, a new mistress now I chase, 
         The first foe in the field; 
And with a stronger faith embrace 
         A sword, a horse, a shield. 
Yet this inconstancy is such 
         As you too shall adore; 
I could not love thee (Dear) so much, 
         Lov’d I not Honour more.

Gemms in abundance upon you:
Besides, the childhood of the Day has kept,
Against you come, some Orient Pearls unwept:
