To Althea From Prison |
| When love, with unconfined wings, hovers within my gates |
| And my divine althea brings to whisper at my grates |
| When I lie tangled in her hair and fettered with her eye |
| Birds that wanton in the air know no such liberty |
| When flowing cups run swiftly round with no allaying thames |
| Our careless heads with roses crowned, our hearts with royal flames |
| When first decreeth in wine we steep when healths and rafts run free |
| Fishes that tipple in the deep know no such liberty |
| Stone walls do not a prison make not iron bars a gate |
| Minds innocent and quiet take that as a hermitage |
| If I have freedom in my love and in my soul am free |
| Angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty |
