UPON JULIA'S SWEAT by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WO'D YE OYLE OF BLOSSOMES GET?
Last Line: ALL RICH SPICES THENCE WILL FLOW.
Subject(s): PERSPIRATION; SWEAT;

Wo'd ye oyle of Blossomes get?
Take it from my Julia's sweat:
Oyl of Lillies, and of Spike,
From her moysture take the like:
Let her breath, or let her blow,
All rich spices thence will flow.
