EPIGRAM: THE LIER by JOHN DONNE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOU IN THE FIELDS WALK'ST OUT THY SUPPING HOURS
Last Line: A SALLET WORSE THEN SPANISH DIETING.

Thou in the fields walkst out thy supping howers,
And yet thou swear'st thou hast supp'd like a king:
Like Nebuchadnezar perchance with grass and flowers,
A sallet worse then Spanish dieting.
