《The Flea》By：John Donne

[00:00.13]The Flea [00:01.10]by John Donne [00:02.59]Mark but this flea, and mark in this, [00:09.76]How little that which thou deniest me is; [00:14.19]Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee, [00:19.18]And in this flea our two bloods mingled be; [00:25.08]Thou know’st that this cannot be said [00:29.31]A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead, [00:32.67]Yet this enjoys before it woo, [00:36.25]And pampered swells with one blood made of two, [00:41.04]And this, alas, is more than we would do. [00:44.72]Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare, [00:50.52]Where we almost, nay more than married are. [00:52.91]This flea is you and I, and this [00:55.41]Our mariage bed, and marriage temple is; [00:58.47]Though parents grudge, and you, w'are met, [01:01.94]And cloistered in these living walls of jet. [01:05.29]Though use make you apt to kill me, [01:08.75]Let not to that, self-murder added be, [01:11.81]And sacrilege, three sins in killing three. [01:15.16]Cruel and sudden, hast thou since [01:20.51]Purpled thy nail, in blood of innocence? [01:22.80]Wherein could this flea guilty be, [01:26.21]Except in that drop which it sucked from thee? [01:29.17]Yet thou triumph’st, and say'st that thou [01:33.75]Find’st not thy self, nor me the weaker now; [01:36.70]’Tis true; then learn how false, fears be: [01:40.01]Just so much honor, when thou yield’st to me, [01:43.57]Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.
