ROCHESTER'S CALL FOR JANE
ROCHESTER'S CALL FOR JANE
Jane, my Jane, l need your love; please, come to me.
I have lost my hand and sight; come make me see.
I feel that l need you much; my heart calls you.
Don't neglect my urgent call; come, be my view.
I have lost all that l have, but l don't care.
I feel a great surge in heart to touch your hair.
Come, l want to press you hard to my faint chest
and give you my loving heart, what's for me left.
I can't keep my heart, that cradles your love, safe.
I wish to entrust this love ere l get off.
It's my treasure in my life, and all l've got.
Please, come soon. You are my hope ere l depart.
I have seen a lot, but you have got the touch
that could enslave all my thoughts and my heart catch.
Come let me enfold your heart to sing the tune
that my heart has sung for long; please, Jane, come soon.

You seem to be unaware of what "to get off" means when used (as you have used it here) intransitively.
On this, see:
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=get+off
and to be grammatically correct, this line
"that my heart have sung for long"
should be "that my heart has sung ..."

Dear Baldwin,
To get off [in]: is to start a journey or to leave. It is used figuratively here. Thank you for your interest.

The complement is implied, and l am sure you understand it clearly. [TO THE SECOND LIFE.]
No, I don't. It is hardly clear that "to get off to the second life" is what the complement of the expression "get off" is, even if -- and it's a pretty strained "if' -- it is clear that the expression should be taken as implying a complement.
And I see that you have modified the grammar gaffe in this piece that I pointed out to you. I thought you claimed that you don't make them.
