OF LOVE (2) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I DO NOT LOVE, NOR CAN IT BE
Last Line: KIL'D BY A FROST OR BY A FLAME.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;
I do not love, nor can it be
Love will in vain spend shafts on me:
I did this God-head once defie;
Since which I freeze, but cannot frie.
Yet out alas! the deaths the same,
Kil'd by a frost or by a flame.
