A PSALME OR HYMNE TO THE GRACES by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GLORY BE TO THE GRACES!
Last Line: FOR EVERMORE PROTECT ME.

Glory be to the Graces!
That doe in publike places,
Drive thence what ere encumbers,
The listning to my numbers.

Honour be to the Graces!
Who doe with sweet embraces,
Shew they are well contented
With what I have invented.

Worship be to the Graces!
Who do from sowre faces,
And lungs that wo'd infect me,
For evermore protect me.
