“Loves riddles are, that though thy heart depart,
It stayes at home, and thou with losing savest it:
But wee will have a way more liberall,
Then changing hearts, to joyne them, so wee shall
Be one, and one anothers All.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

Ask not whom they sleep beside,
And the bridegroom all night through
Never turns him to the bride.”

Who having by elimination got
From many gods to Three, and Three to One,
Thinks why not taper off to none at all.”

“Come away, away children;
Come children, come down!
The hoarse wind blows coldly;
Lights shine in the town.”
