Bid me to live, and I will live
Thy Protestant to be:
Or bid me love, and I will give
A loving heart to thee.
A heart as soft, a heart as kind,
A heart as sound and free
As in the whole world thou canst find,
That heart I ll give to thee.
Bid that heart stay, and it will stay,
To honor thy decree
Or bid it languish quite away,
And t shall do so for thee
Bid me to weep, and I will weep
While I have eyes to see:
And having none, yet I will keep
A heart to weep for thee.
Bid me despair and I ll despair,
Under that cypress tree:
Or bid me die, and I will dare
E en Death, to die for thee.
Thou art my life, my love, my heart
The very eyes of me,
And hast command of every part,
To live and die for thee.
Robert Herrick s To Anthea, Who May Command Him Anything
