TO HIS TOMB-MAKER by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GO I MUST; WHEN I AM GONE
Last Line: IS IN THIS WORD, BATCHELOUR.
Subject(s): SINGLE PEOPLE; BACHELORS; UNMARRIED PEOPLE;
Go I must; when I am gone,
Write but this upon my Stone;
Chaste I liv'd, without a wife,
That's the Story of my life.
Strewings need none, every flower
Is in this word, Batchelour.
