The Flea

by John Donne (excerpt)

Mark but this flea, and mark in this,

How little that which thou deniest me is;

Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,

And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;

Thou know'st that this cannot be said

A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead;

Yet this enjoys before it woo,

And pampered swells with one blood made of two;

And this, alas, is more than we would do.
