UPON THE MUST LAMENTED, MR. J. WARR by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT WISDOME, LEARNING, WIT, OR WORTH
Last Line: NOT ONE, BUT MANY MONUMENTS.
Subject(s): MOURNING; BEREAVEMENT;
What Wisdome, Learning, Wit, or Worth,
Youth, or sweet Nature, co'd bring forth,
Rests here with him; who was the Fame,
The Volumne of himselfe, and Name.
If, Reader, then thou wilt draw neere,
And doe an honour to thy teare;
Weep then for him, for whom laments
Not one, but many Monuments.
