The Bracelet To Julia
Why I tie about thy wrist, Julia, this silken twist; For what other reason 'tis But to show thee how, in part, Thou my pretty captive art? But thy bond slave is my heart: 'tis but silk that bindeth thee, Knap the thread and thou art free; But 'tis otherwise with me: I am bound and fast bound, so That from thee I cannot go; If I could, I would not so.
