CROSSES (2) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: OUR CROSSES ARE NO OTHER THEN THE RODS
Last Line: SENT FORTH BY THEM, OUR FLESH TO EATE, OR BITE.

Our Crosses are no other then the rods,
And our Diseases, Vultures of the Gods:
Each griefe we feele, that likewise is a Kite
Sent forth by them, our flesh to eate, or bite.
