## The words

Why I tie about thy wrist,  
Julia, this my silken twist,  
For what other reason is’t,  
But to shew thee how in part Thou my pretty  
captive art? But thy bondslave is my heart.  
’Tis but silk that bindeth thee,  
Knap the thread and thou art free  
But ’tis otherwise with me:  
I am bound, and fast bound so That from thee I  
cannot go; If I could I would not so.
