CHARME FOR STABLES by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: HANG UP HOOKS, AND SHEERS TO SCARE
Last Line: OF YOUR HORSES, ALL KNOT-FREE.
Subject(s): MAGIC; STABLES;
Hang up Hooks, and Sheers to scare
Hence the Hag, that rides the Mare,
Till they be all over wet,
With the mire, and the sweat:
This observ'd, the Manes shall be
Of your horses, all knot-free.
