SAEFTY TO LOOK TO ONES SELFE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: FOR MY NEIGHBOUR ILE NOT KNOW
Last Line: HAS NOT WHENCE TO SINK AT ALL.
For my neighbour Ile not know,
Whether high he builds or no:
Onely this Ile look upon,
Firm be my foundation.
Sound, or unsound, let it be;
'Tis the lot ordain'd for me.
He who to the ground do's fall,
Has not whence to sink at all.
