The Flea
Description
"Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
It 'd me first, and now thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two;
And this, alas ! is more than we would do.
O stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is.
Though parents grudge, and you, we're met,
And cloister'd in these living walls of jet.
Though make use you apt to kill me,
Let not to that self-murder added be,
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it 'd from thee?
Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thou
Find'st not thyself nor me the weaker now.
'Tis true ; then learn how false fears be;
Just so much honour, when thou yield'st to me,
Will waste, as this flea's death took life from thee.
"
"Let me just get to the point.
I'm good-looking, smart, tall, handsome, scrumptious;
I like you.
I want you.
So, will you be mine?
"

Foreword
Okay so I got this idea a while ago when I was sitting in my English class and we went over this poem...
Everyone thought of a couple who had a baby out of wedlock and the wife killed the baby and committed suicide herself and yatta yatta yatta, all that good stuff.
Ho boy, we were wrong...
You'll see.
