THE FROZEN HEART by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I FREEZE, I FREEZE, AND NOTHING DWELS
Last Line: THEN TO BE THAW'D, OR HEATED SO.
I freeze, I freeze, and nothing dwels
In me but Snow, and ysicles.
For pitties sake give your advice,
To melt this snow, and thaw this ice;
I'le drink down Flames, but if so be
Nothing but love can supple me;
I'le rather keepe this frost, and snow,
Then to be thaw'd, or heated so.
