Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Lac'd up together in congruity,
To shew our thoughts should rest in the same hold;
No, nor thy picture, though most gracious,
Or that my easelesse thoughts may sleep and rest;
Send me some honey to make sweet my hive,
Nor witty Lines, which are most copious,
No, nor the Coralls which thy wrist infold,
Send me nor this, nor that, t'increase my store,
I beg noe ribbond wrought with thine owne hands,
So should our loves meet in simplicity;
Within the Writings which thou hast addrest.
That in my passion I may hope the best.
To knit our loves in the fantastick straine
And most desir'd, because best like the best;
Send me some token, that my hope may live,
But swear thou thinkst I love thee, and no more.
Of new-toucht youth; nor Ring to shew the stands
Of our affection, that as that's round and plaine,
