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.

Than thine, shall by Loves hand be bound,
To Love, as I did once to thee;
Then curse thine owne inconstancy.
And to my soul, a soul more pure
Damn'd for thy false Apostasie.
When all thy teares shall be as vain
As mine were then, for thou shalt bee
A fayrer hand than thine, shall cure
From all the joyes of love, shalt see
Which my strong faith shall purchase me,
And both with equall glory crown'd.
Then shalt thou weepe, entreat, complain
The full reward, and glorious fate,
When thou, poore excommunicate
That heart, which thy false oathes did wound;
