TO THE LARK, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Good speed, for I this day
Last Line: Love's, and my sacrifice.
Subject(s): Birds; Larks; Skylarks


Good speed, for I this day
Betimes my Mattens say:
Because I doe
Begin to wooe:
Sweet singing Lark,
Be thou the Clark,
And know thy when
To say, Amen.
And if I prove
Blest in my love;
Then thou shalt be
High-Priest to me,
At my returne,
To Incense burne;
And so to solemnize
Love's, and my Sacrifice.
