Begging Another
Ben Jonson

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.

I'll taste as lightly as the bee
Where, how it should have relished well;
I will but mend the last, and tell
Once more, and faith I will be gone;
And all your bounty wrong;
Why do you doubt or stay?
Can he that loves ask less than one?
And whilst our tongues perplexed lie,
Join lip to lip, and try
I long, and should not beg in vain,
Each suck other's breath.
This could be called but half a kiss,
What we're but once to do, we should do long.
For love's sake, kiss me once again;
Let who will, think us dead or wish our death.
Here's none to spy or see;
That doth but touch his flower and flies away.
Nay, you may err in this
