Analysis of Appeal
Edith Nesbit 1858 (Kennington, Surrey ) – 1924 (New Romney, Kent)
Daphnis dearest, wherefore weave me
Webs of lies lest truth should grieve me?
I could pardon much, believe me:
Dower me, Daphnis, or bereave me,
Kiss me, kill me, love me, leave me,-
Damn me, dear, but don't deceive me!
