Ahem.



Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love's day;

My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.

An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;

An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.

But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.

Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust.

The grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.

Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,

Now let us sport us while we may;
And now, like am'rous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour,
Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life.

Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.





Won't you reconsider?

Just who are you proposing to?

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

A lovely lady, of course.

[spirit-shard.livejournal.com]

Which?

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Ah, but if I give you her name, you might also decide to seek her out and then would fall desperately in love with her, and then I'd have competition.

[spirit-shard.livejournal.com]

... Stop defiling that body!

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Defilement requires two, little one.

I don't think there's much danger of that yet.

LAWL MAKU

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[virtualunknown.livejournal.com]

...nothing.

[covert-chord.livejournal.com]

...

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

So many responses of dots.

[covert-chord.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what kind of reaction to have, other than that you have way too much time on your hands. I'm not sure if she's a poetry sort of woman, but...

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Nonsense! Poetry is a time honored occupation of the gentleman, as is the subject of unrequited love for a fair lady.

I suppose I won't know until she tells me herself whether it's to her liking or not.

[covert-chord.livejournal.com]

I can't say I know much about the specifics of using it to attempt to romance people.

I almost want to wish you luck.

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Watch and learn, kiddo. It's called chivalry.

Oh? Do I have your blessing, then?

WHAT DO I COME BACK TO

[inebriatingly.livejournal.com]

...Excuse me?

OH HI BB

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

There you are!

I wrote you a poem.

[inebriatingly.livejournal.com]

If that was an attempt to win me for White Fang, it failed.

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I respect your dedication to your comrades.

This was purely an expression of admiration and regard.

[inebriatingly.livejournal.com]

If that's all, I appreciate it. It's sweet.

voice;

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Hello, darlin'. What's shaking?

voice;

[el-legendaire.livejournal.com]

Aw, darlin', you don't have to be jealous. I'll still have plenty of time to spend with you.

It's no crime to make new friends, you know. Especially if they happen to be stunningly gorgeous.
