Batter my heart, three-person’d God, for you<\/div>\n
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;<\/div>\n
That I may rise and stand, o’erthrow me, and bend<\/div>\n
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.<\/div>\n
I, like an usurp’d town to another due,<\/div>\n
Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;<\/div>\n
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,<\/div>\n
But is captiv’d, and proves weak or untrue.<\/div>\n
Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov’d fain,<\/div>\n
But am betroth’d unto your enemy;<\/div>\n
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,<\/div>\n
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,<\/div>\n
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,<\/div>\n
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
