To Anthea, who may command him any thing Lyrics by Robert Herrick

0

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, as heart as kind
A heart as sound and free
As in the whole world thou canst find
That heart Ile give to thee
Bid that heart stay, and it will stay
To honour thy Decree
Or bid it languish quite away
And't shall doe 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 despaire, and Ile despaire
Under that Cypresse 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
