Poet Analysis

First Line: IN MY COTTAGE NEAR THE STYX
Last Line: CHARON, CERBERUS, AND CO.
Subject(s): CHARON; DEATH; FERRY BOATS; STYX (RIVER); DEAD, THE;

In my cottage near the Styx
Co. and Charon still combine
Us to ferry o'er like bricks
In a boat of chaste design.
Cerberus, thou triple fair,
Distance doth thy charms impair:
Let the passage give to us
Charon, Co., and Cerberus.

CHORUS

Now the passage gives us to
Charon, Cerberus, and Co.
