ANOTHER, TO HIS SAVIOUR, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: If thou beest taken, god forbid
Last Line: Thy stripes I'le kisse, or burn the rod.


If Thou beest taken, God forbid,
I flie from Thee, as others did:
But if Thou wilt so honour me,
As to accept my companie,
I'le follow Thee, hap, hap what shall,
Both to the Judge, and Judgment-Hall:
And, if I see Thee posted there,
To be all-flayd with whipping-cheere
I'le take my share; or els, my God,
Thy stripes I'le kisse, or burn the Rod.
