THE GOOD NIGHT OR BLESSING by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: BLESSINGS, IN ABUNDANCE COME
Last Line: ON YE BOTH; GOODNIGHT TO ALL.
Blessings, in abundance come,
To the Bride, and to her Groome;
May the Bed, and this short night,
Know the fulness of delight!
Pleasures, many here attend ye,
And ere long, a Boy Love send ye
Curld and comely, and so trimme,
Maides (in time) may ravish him.
Thus a dew of Graces fall
On ye both; Goodnight to all.
