UPON THE LADY CREW by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: THIS STONE CAN TELL THE STORIE OF MY LIFE
Last Line: THE BEST AND TRUEST CHRONICLES OF ME.

This Stone can tell the storie of my life,
What was my Birth, to whom I was a Wife:
In teeming years, how soon my Sun was set,
Where now I rest, these may be known by Jet.
For other things, my many Children be
The best and truest Chronicles of me.
