PRINCES AND FAVOURITES by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: PRINCES AND FAV'RITES ARE MOST DEERE, WHILE THEY
Last Line: WHEN THESE CAN ASKE, AND KINGS CAN GIVE NO MORE.
Subject(s): COURTS & COURTIERS; ROYAL COURT LIFE; ROYALTY; KINGS; QUEENS;
Princes and Fav'rites are most deere, while they
By giving and receiving hold the play:
But the Relation then of both growes poor,
When These can aske, and Kings can give no more.
