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.

Then Cleopatra lives at number seven,
That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.
And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots;
Should be more common than the growth of weeds.
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
If Queens and Soldiers have play'd deep for hearts,
Fools! if some passions high have warm'd the world,
Till Miss's comb is made a pearl tiara,
The Queen of Egypt melted, and I'll say
And Antony resides in Brunswick Square.
And what is love? It is a doll dress'd up
Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl
Divine by loving, and so goes on
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
Yawning and doting a whole summer long,
That silly youth doth think to make itself
It is no reason why such agonies
