TO M. LAURNCE SWETNAHAM by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: READ THOU MY LINES, MY SWETNAHAM, IF THERE BE
Last Line: HOW WILL IT DROP PURE HONY, SPEAKING THESE?
Read thou my Lines, my Swetnaham, if there be
A fault, tis hid, if it be voic't by thee.
Thy mouth will make the sourest numbers please;
How will it drop pure hony, speaking these?
