TO HIS SAVIOUR. THE NEW YEERS GIFT by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: THAT LITTLE PRETTIE BLEEDING PART / OF FORESKIN SENT TO ME
Last Line: BECAUSE I SEND THEE ALL.
Subject(s): BIBLE; JESUS CHRIST; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
That little prettie bleeding part
Of Foreskin send to me:
And Ile returne a bleeding Heart,
For New-yeers gift to thee.

Rich is the Jemme that thou did'st send,
Mine's faulty too, and small:
But yet this Gift Thou wilt commend,
Because I send Thee all.
