TO ROBIN REDBREAST by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LAID OUT FOR DEAD, LET THY LAST KINDNESS BE
Last Line: HERE, HERE THE TOMB OF ROBIN HERRICK IS.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
Laid out for dead, let thy last kindnesse be
With leaves and mosse-work for to cover me:
And while the Wood-nimphs my cold corps inter,
Sing thou my Dirge, sweet-warbling Chorister!
For Epitaph, in Foliage, next write this,
Here, here the Tomb of Robin Herrick is.
