Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. 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.

Yet this inconstancy is such
A sword, a horse, a shield.
True, a new mistress now I chase,
To war and arms I fly.
Tell me not (Sweet) I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Lov’d I not Honour more.
The first foe in the field;
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee (Dear) so much,
And with a stronger faith embrace
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
