To clarify the difference between "I" and "me" (he, she, they; him, her, them):
"I" is used as the subject of a sentence, but "me" the object.
I gave it to her (not "she").
He hit me (not "I").
Between you and me, I prefer white wine. (Some say "between you and I" is so widely used that it has become acceptable.)
Jerry tossed the ball to Mary (or "her").
et cetera . . .

she holds me tenderly in her tightening but welcome thrall.
i cave willingly -- oh, so willingly -- to her amatory attentions.
Sorry -- mistook this for another thread!
