BY ANDREW MARVELL<\/a><\/p>\n SOUL <\/p>\n O who shall, from this dungeon, raise <\/p>\n A soul enslav\u2019d so many ways? <\/p>\n With bolts of bones, that fetter\u2019d stands <\/p>\n In feet, and manacled in hands; <\/p>\n Here blinded with an eye, and there <\/p>\n Deaf with the drumming of an ear; <\/p>\n A soul hung up, as \u2019twere, in chains <\/p>\n Of nerves, and arteries, and veins; <\/p>\n Tortur\u2019d, besides each other part, <\/p>\n In a vain head, and double heart. <\/p>\n BODY <\/p>\n O who shall me deliver whole <\/p>\n From bonds of this tyrannic soul? <\/p>\n Which, stretch\u2019d upright, impales me so <\/p>\n That mine own precipice I go; <\/p>\n And warms and moves this needless frame, <\/p>\n (A fever could but do the same) <\/p>\n And, wanting where its spite to try, <\/p>\n Has made me live to let me die. <\/p>\n A body that could never rest, <\/p>\n Since this ill spirit it possest. <\/p>\n SOUL <\/p>\n What magic could me thus confine <\/p>\n Within another\u2019s grief to pine? <\/p>\n Where whatsoever it complain, <\/p>\n I feel, that cannot feel, the pain; <\/p>\n And all my care itself employs; <\/p>\n That to preserve which me destroys; <\/p>\n Constrain\u2019d not only to endure <\/p>\n Diseases, but, what\u2019s worse, the cure; <\/p>\n And ready oft the port to gain, <\/p>\n Am shipwreck\u2019d into health again. <\/p>\n BODY <\/p>\n But physic yet could never reach <\/p>\n The maladies thou me dost teach; <\/p>\n Whom first the cramp of hope does tear, <\/p>\n And then the palsy shakes of fear; <\/p>\n The pestilence of love does heat, <\/p>\n Or hatred\u2019s hidden ulcer eat; <\/p>\n Joy\u2019s cheerful madness does perplex, <\/p>\n Or sorrow\u2019s other madness vex; <\/p>\n Which knowledge forces me to know, <\/p>\n And memory will not forego. <\/p>\n What but a soul could have the wit <\/p>\n To build me up for sin so fit? <\/p>\n So architects do square and hew <\/p>\n Green trees that in the forest grew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" select a poem that most interested you this week, and in about 200 words, explain why.
