TO JULIA (1) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: HELP ME, JULIA, FOR TO PRAY
Last Line: THEN THE FOE WILL FLY AFFRIGHTED.
Subject(s): PRAYER;
Help me, Julia, for to pray,
Mattens sing, or Mattens say:
This I know, the Fiend will fly
Far away, if thou beest by.
Bring the Holy-water hither;
Let us wash, and pray together:
When our Beads are thus united,
Then the Foe will fly affrighted.
