ANOTHER, TO GOD (1), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Lord, do not beat me
Last Line: But rather purge me.
Subject(s): God


Lord, do not beat me,
Since I do sob and crie,
And swowne away to die,
Ere Thou dost threat me.

Lord, do not scourge me,
If I by lies and oaths
Have soil'd my selfe, or cloaths,
But rather purge me.
