An earnest critique

I find the poem charming and playful. The wordplay in the title is clever. I have questions about your use of archaic words like "wouldst" and "forsooth", though. First of all, "wouldst" is the second person familiar, so it would be used with "thou," not in the first person. Also (this second point is moot) it would make sense to use it consistently throughout the poem. "Forsooth", through no fault of its own, has become corny, because it gets used as a stock expression to invoke an archaic mood. If your intention is to invoke that mood, I would avoid the ultra-modern usage of the word "gift" as a verb, again just to be consistent.

I did enjoy this little poem. Has a very flirtatious feel. Very British.

Egads!

A clever, saucy poem. Delightful to read. Granted there are some missused tenses and words nut they do not detract from the pleasure of reading the poem. Well done!
