An online ExampleTo His Young Mistress

Pierre de Ronsard (1524-85)

Fair flower of fifteen springs, that stillArt scarcely blossomed from the bud,

Yet hast such store of evil will,A heart so full of hardihood,

Seeking to hide in friendly wiseThe mischief of your mocking eyes.

If you have pity, child, give o'er,Give back the heart you stole from me,

Pirate, setting so little storeOn this your captive from Love’s sea,

Holding his misery for gain,And making pleasure of his pain.

Another, not so fair of face,But far more pitiful than you,

Would take my heart, if of his grace,My heart would give her of Love’s due;

And she shall have it, since I findThat you are cruel and unkind.

“My” Example!!!As much as I would love to stay aliveMy time has come please let me goAlthough we were like best friendsI need to go, it’s sad I know

I would die for you, my favorite friendAnd remember, this is not a dreamReality is different from fantasyAnd reality is not always a team

That means we can’t always be togetherYou are everything to me, my friendSo let me go because you knowThat we’ll meet in heaven again
