A CONJURATION, TO ELECTRA by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: BY THOSE SOFT TODS OF WOOL [WOOLL]
Last Line: IN LOVE WITH NONE, BUT ME.
By those soft Tods of wooll
With which the aire is full:
By all those Tinctures there,
That paint the Hemisphere:
By Dewes and drisling Raine,
That swell the Golden Graine:
By all those sweets that be
I' th flowrie Nunnerie:
By silent Nights, and the
Three Formes of Heccate:
By all Aspects that blesse
The sober Sorceresse,
While juice she straines, and pith
To make her Philters with:
By Time, that hastens on
Things to perfection:
And by your self, the best
Conjurement of the rest:
O my Electra! be
In love with none, but me.
