TO GOD (8) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GID GIVES NOT ONELY CORNE, FOR NEED
Last Line: FINE FLOWRE PREST DOWN, AND RUNNING O'RE.
Subject(s): GOD;
God gives not onely corne, for need,
But likewise sup'rabundant seed;
Bread for our service, bread for shew;
Meat for our meales, and fragments too:
He gives not poorly, taking some
Between the finger, and the thumb;
But, for our glut, and for our store,
Fine flowre prest down, and running o're.
