Batter my heart, three-person’d God, for you
\nAs yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
\nThat I may rise and stand, o’erthrow me, and bend
\nYour force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
\nI, like an usurp’d town to’another due,
\nLabor to’admit you, but oh, to no end;
\nReason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
\nBut is captiv’d, and proves weak or untrue.
\nYet dearly’I love you, and would be lov’d fain,
\nBut am betroth’d unto your enemy;
\nDivorce me,’untie or break that knot again,
\nTake me to you, imprison me, for I,
\nExcept you’enthrall me, never shall be free,
\nNor ever chaste, except you ravish me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
