Come My Celia, Let Us Prove

Come my celia, let us have sex while we can. Time will not wait for us forver, he will ruin our beauty. Do not waste what you were given. Suns that set will rise again but if we lose this it will not come back, its with us forever in death. Why should we wait? Fame and rumor mean nothing, why can't we fool the people. It is no sin to have sex, only a sin to reveal that we had it. Its only a crime if we are caught.



Clerimont's Song

Stanza 1: You are still dressed, and near as if you were going to a feast. Still powdered and perfumed , it is presumed that you are hiding somthing with that Art. Something is wrong.

Stanza 2: Give me back simplicity, with robes loosely flowing and hair free, such neglect in Art is more pleasurable to me than all the adulteries of Art. Arti strikes my eyes but not my heart.



Though I Am Young

Stanza 1: Although I am young and can not tell whether Death or Love is better, I have heard they both are dangerous and have an eye on the heart. Yet, I have also heard that Love wounds with hot blood and death with cold blood. I fear they both mean pain that is extreme at first.

Stanza 2: We may die by being blown up, or falling, or by lightning, or a wave, or Cupid's arrmor may kill as death's cold hand except that Love has more power because it can live on in memories.



In the Person of Womankind

Stanza 1: Men if you love us stop being fools and tyrants to make us court you over and over with fake praise for your amusment. We have wits and likes too and if you want us sing, lets sing of you.

Stanza 2: We do not doubt that we can find a good man for ourselves. So, at last through all of your shit we shall finally make a good song.

Stanza 3: Just as how a painter takes more pleasure in making a painting than having one made for him. We too shall enjoy this more. And after making this art we will try and make anew and stick to it.

Delight in Disorder

A lovely disorder in the dress starts a sex appeal in clothes, a scarf thrown around the shoulders is a fine distraction, a lace that should hold the stomacher up wanders, and a cuff that is loosened, ribbands that flow loosely in the wrinkling petticoat. In a careless shoestring I see a wild civility. These do fascinate me more than when they are proper.


To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time

Stanza 1: Gather you rose buds while you can, time is flying by, the flower smiling today will be dying tomorrow.

Stanza 2: As the sun gets higher in the sky the sooner he will be finished and setting.

Stanza 3: You are best when young, when youth makes your blood warm. But as it is spent, time will take away youth.

Stanza 4: Don't be shy, use your time, go marry someone, for if you lose your youth, you'll be forever wandering alone.

Sonnet XIX: When I Consider How My Light is Spent

When I consider how my life is spent, with half my life in darkness, and my one talent of writing which is death's to hide is now uselessly lodged within me. Although my soul yearns to serve my maker and use my talent. unless he dissapproves. "Am I only useful for a short period of time?" I foolishly ask.

To His Coy Mistress

Stanza 1: Had we enough time, this shyness wouldn't be a problem. We could sit down and think which way to walk, and think of how to pass the day. And you could refuse till the Jews convert. My natural love will grow vaster than empires and more slow, I would praise your eyes and face for a hundred years, and praise each breast for two hundred years, and thirty thousand years to the rest, an age for every part with the last being your heart, you deserve this state, and I would love you at any rate.

Stanza 2: But time is upon us and the deserts of eternity lie ahead. Your beauty will be lost and my echoing song will not be in your tomb, worms shall break your virginity and your pettie honor will turn to dust and into ashes will fall my lust. THe grave's definately a private place but no one will embrace you there.

Stanza 3: So, while you are still fresh with youth, let us have sex while we can, and like loving birds of prey devour this time, and fade in Time's slow-cracked power and let us muster all our strength and all our sweetness and tear our pleasures with rough strife through the iron gates of life. Even though we can not make time stop we can make him run.

Bermudas

Where the Bermudas ride the ocean's bosom unseen, from a small boat the winds receieve this song: "We should sing his praise for he did lead us through the Atlantic Ocean to an isle unkown thats far nicer than our England. He got us past the sea creatures and landed us on the grassy land. safe from storms and rage. He gave us eternal spring which covers everything. He sends birds for food to us everyday. He puts oranges in the trees, and pomegranates, and makes figs for us to eat, and melons, and pineapples that only bloom once. He packs the land with trees hand picked from Lebanon and makes the seas bring ambergris to the shore. He drops pearls on the coast and framed a temple from the rock for us to pray. Let us exalt him with praise till he can hear it in heavan which after resounding will echo on the Mexican Bay.' They sung in the row boat to keep time.
