Everything I Do, I Do It For You - Shakespeare Style
with all due respect to the Bryan Adams classic, this is my Bardish version:
heed my visage close thou wilt mark
to me thou meanest all
thy bosom enquire soul beside
wherein shall I be found
thy searchings done
hold thy tongue ere the effort all
speaketh not of a full forfeit
knowest thou forsooth
mine whole intent only is for thee
thy bosom enquire discover there
aught of secrets be
my impulse be thine stay mine breath
bequeathe my lot in surrender all
speaketh not of a full forfeit
fair taken I for aught I desireth
verily thou knowest
mine whole intent only is for thee
none ardor is belike thine
nor couldst return beyond its like
none adobe prevail cept thee therein
fully and in perpetuum
thy bosom inquire
verily
hold thy tongue ere the effort all
not stayed am I for full desire
wouldst war for thee
forswear for thee
take leave mine footsteps
givst mine breath for thee
thou knowest verily
mine whole intent only is for thee.
