DISCONTENTS IN DEVON by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: MORE DISCONTENTS I NEVER HAD
Last Line: THEN WHERE I LOATH'D SO MUCH.
Subject(s): DEVONSHIRE, ENGLAND; DISCONTENT; DISSATISFACTION;
More discontents I never had
Since I was born, then here;
Where I have been, and still am sad,
In this dull Devon-shire:
Yet justly too I must confesse;
I ne'r invented such
Ennobled numbers for the Presse,
Then where I loath'd so much.
