To tell the secrets of my prison house,

To tell the secrets of my prison house,

Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres,
Thy knotted and combined locks to part,
And each particular hair to stand on end
Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.

keep one long; and I know a goodly number of men who are women in
