Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

One golden-pointed dart take back:
Divided equally twixt two?
Or that of my Alexis, I am lost.
But if it chance they both are by,
But which, O Cupid, wilt thou take?
But when Alexis I do miss,
This restless fever in my blood;
III
Damon gains nothing but my scorn.
Without my Damon's aid, to gain my love.
If Damon's, all my hopes are crossed;
How strong does my passion flow,
Had not Alexis took his part;
When my Alexis present is,
Then I for Damon sigh and mourn;
Nor could Alexis powerful prove,
For both alike I languish, sigh, and die.
II
Cure then, thou might wing'd god,
I
Damon had ne'er subdued my heart
