TO HIS BOOKE (4) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LIKE TO A BRIDE, COME FORTH MY BOOK, AT LAST
Last Line: SOME PEARLS ON QUEENS, THAT HAVE BEEN COUNTERFET.
Subject(s): BOOKS; READING;
Like to a Bride, come forth my Book, at last,
With all thy richest jewels over-cast:
Say, if there be 'mongst many jems here; one
Deservelesse of the name of Paragon:
Blush not at all for that; since we have set
Some Pearls on Queens, that have been counterfet.
