ON HENRY DANVERS EARL OF DANBY, by GEORGE HERBERT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Sacred marble, safely keep Last Line: Another monument to thee. | ||||||||
SACRED marble, safely keep His dust who under thee must sleep, Until the yeares again restore Their dead, and time shall be no more. Mean while, if he (which all things wears) Does ruin thee, or if thy tears Are shed for him, dissolve thy frame; Thou art required: for his fame, His vertue, and his worth shall be Another monument to thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A TRUE HYMN [HYMNE] by GEORGE HERBERT CHURCH MONUMENTS by GEORGE HERBERT CHURCH-MUSICK [CHURCH MUSIC] by GEORGE HERBERT |
