Every 10th word

Send me some token, that my hope may live,
that my easelesse thoughts may sleep and rest;
Send some honey to make sweet my hive,
That in passion I may hope the best.
I beg noe wrought with thine owne hands, 
To knit our in the fantastick straine
Of new-toucht youth; nor Ring shew the stands
Of our affection, that as that's and plaine,
So should our loves meet in simplicity;
No, nor the Coralls which thy wrist infold, 
Lac'd together in congruity,
To shew our thoughts should rest the same hold;
No, nor thy picture, though most gracious,
And most desir'd, because best like the best;
Nor Lines, which are most copious, 
Within the Writings thou hast addrest.

Send me nor this, nor that, t'increase my store,
But swear thou thinkst I love thee, no more.
