TO LOVE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'M FREE FROM THEE; AND THOU NO MORE SHALT HEARE
Last Line: SUBMITS HIS NECK UNTO A SECOND YOKE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I'm free from thee; and thou no more shalt heare
My puling Pipe to beat against thine eare:
Farewell my shackles, (though of pearle they be)
Such precious thraldome ne'r shall fetter me.
He loves his bonds, who when the first are broke,
Submits his neck unto a second yoke.
