                                             Names

 

                               I ask’d my fair one happy day,

                             What I should call her in my lay;

                        By what sweet name from Rome or Greece;

                                      Lalage, Neaera, Chloris,

                                     Sappho, Lesbia, or Doris

                                       Arethusa or Lucrece.

 

                                  “Ah!’ replied my gentle fair,

                              ‘Beloved, what are names but air?

                             Choose thou whatever suits the line;

                                      Call me Lalage or Doris,

                                     Only, only call me Thine.’

 

                                  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 

 

 

 

                         What's in a name? that which we call a rose
                           By any other name would smell as sweet;

   

                                     William Shakespeare
