Go and catch a falling star by John donne
Text
Go and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaid singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Seves to advance an honest mind.
If thou beest born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand daies and nights
Till age snow white haires on thee
And swear,
No where
Lives a women true, and fair.
If thou find'st one, let me know,
Such a Pilgrimage were sweet,
Yet do not, I would not do,
Though at next door we might meet;
Though she were true, when you met her
And last, till you write your letter,
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two or three.
