Why art thou so defensive?
Was it something I said?
It is thee, who allowed me to move thee,
thou and thy discriminative head.
Thou grasps at an idea of how the world should be,
and to thee, any other way is a good as dead.
Thy way, my way, his way, hers,
our way, always, one way wed.
Behold, I am thy friend and lover,
do not misunderstand.
Attacking thee I am not,
I am but reaching out my hand.
If thou art offended,
Tis not by me.
Thou hast offended thineself,
through a mind not yet set free.

Truth, and scans pleasantly. Good! “Graspeth,” perhaps?
Julie, you may be correct with the “graspeth”. I’m no expert myself with the antique form, but I figure the best way to learn is to just do it. :) I appreciate your offering.
