HIS LAST REQUEST TO JULIA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I have been wanton, and too bold I feare
Last Line: Claspe thou his book, then close thou up his eyes.


I have been wanton, and too bold I feare,
To chafe o're much the Virgins cheek or eare:
Beg for my Pardon Julia; He doth winne
Grace with the Gods, who's sorry for his sinne.
That done, my Julia, dearest Julia, come,
And go with me to chuse my Buriall roome:
My Fates are ended; when thy Herrick dyes,
Claspe thou his Book, then close thou up his Eyes.
