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.

Be she whole, or be she rent,
Be she sluttish, be she clean;
Be she bald, or does she wear
Locks incurl'd of other hair;
I shall find enchantment there.
So my fancy be content,
Be she rough, or smooth of skin;
Does she smile, or does she frown;
When I touch, I then begin
Rich or poor although it be,
Be my girl or fair or brown,
Be she fat, or be she lean;
For to let affection in.
Whatsoever thing I see,
I'm a man for every scene.
Still I write a sweet-heart down.
—'Tis a mistress unto me.
She's to me most excellent.
