Poet Analysis

First Line: ILE SING NO MORE, NOR WILL I LONGER WRITE
Last Line: NO MORE MY DIRGES, AND MY TRENTALLS HAVE.
Subject(s): HERRICK, ROBERT (1591-1674); POETRY & POETS;
Ile sing no more, nor will I longer write
Of that sweet Lady, or that gallant Knight:
Ile sing no more of Frosts, Snowes, Dews and Showers;
No more of Groves, Meades, Springs, and wreaths of Flowers:
Ile write no more, nor will I tell or sing
Of Cupid, and his wittie coozning:
Ile sing no more of death, or shall the grave
No more my Dirges, and my Trentalls have.
