A Lovers Complaint

...leave the battery that you make 'gainst mine,
Lending soft audience to my sweet design,
And credent soul to that strong-bonded oath
That shall prefer and undertake my troth.'

'This said, his watery eyes he did dismount,
Whose sights till then were levell'd on my face;
Each cheek a river running from a fount
With brinish current downward flow'd apace:
O, how the channel to the stream gave grace!
Who glazed with crystal gate the glowing roses
That flame through water which the...Read more of this...

Corn and Catholics

...ith both, and settle neither.

So addled in my cranium meet
Popery and Corn, that oft I doubt,
Whether this year, 'twas bonded Wheat
Or bonded Papists, they let out.

Here, landlords, here, polemics nail you,
Arm'd with all rubbish they can rake up;
Prices and Texts at once assail you --
From Daniel these, and those from Jacob.

And when you sleep, with head still torn
Between the two, their shapes you mix,
Till sometimes Catholics seem Corn --

The Burghers

...nigh,
My sad thoughts moving thuswise: "I may house

"And I may husband her, yet what am I
But licensed tyrant to this bonded pair?

Her beauty, his,--and mine own mien unblest;

Till at her room I turned. "Madam," I...Read more of this...

The Inconsistent

...d bonhomie, 
And what in newer maidens match 
 Her olden warmth to me!" 

- There stands within yon vestry-nook 
 Where bonded lovers sign, 
Her name upon a faded book 
 With one that is not mine. 
To him she breathed the tender vow 
 She once had breathed to me, 
But yet I say, "O love, even now 
 Would I had died for thee!"...Read more of this...

U R Ripping Us Apart!

...Before u came the triangle never broke
we were bonded and melded as one
but as the 2 pushed u away
the one got weak and embraced u
and now u are ripping us apart..

The worst feeling of helplessness
the greatest pain has rested in my heart
the vision of heaven fades
and the nightmare of loneliness has started..

My hero has been defeated by u
and now what can i do
watch as u destroy us
and o...Read more of this...
