CONFESSION by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: CONFESSION TWOFOLD IS (AS AUSTINE SAYS)
Last Line: IF WELL, THEN CHANT GODS PRAISE WITH CHEERFULNESSE.
Subject(s): CONFESSIONS;

Confession twofold is (as Austine sayes,)
The first of sin is, and the next of praise:
If ill it goes with thee, thy faults confesse:
If well, then chant Gods praise with cheerfulnesse.
