A VOW TO MARS by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: STORE OF COURAGE TO ME GRANT
Last Line: OFFER'D UP A WOLFE TO THEE.
Subject(s): WAR;
Store of courage to me grant,
Now I'm turn'd a combatant:
Helpe me so, that I my shield,
(Fighting) lose not in the field.
That's the greatest shame of all
That in warfare can befall.
Do but this; and there shall be
Offer'd up a Wolfe to thee.
