First Line: Ile sing no more, nor will I longer write
Last Line: No more my dirges, and my trentalls have.
Subject(s): Herrick, Robert (1591-1674); Poetry & Poets


Ile sing no more, nor will I longer write
Of that sweet Lady, or that gallant Knight:
Ile sing no more of Frosts, Snowes, Dews and Showers;
No more of Groves, Meades, Springs, and wreaths of Flowers:
Ile write no more, nor will I tell or sing
Of Cupid, and his wittie coozning:
Ile sing no more of death, or shall the grave
No more my Dirges, and my Trentalls have.
