TO HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: CHOOSE ME YOUR VALENTINE
Last Line: NONE THEN WILL WOOE YOU.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; UNFAITHFULNESS; VALENTINE'S DAY; INFIDELITY; ADULTERY; INCONSTANCY;
Choose me your Valentine;
Next, let us marry:
Love to the death will pine,
If we long tarry.

Promise, and keep your vowes,
Or vow ye never:
Loves doctrine disallowes
Troth-breakers ever.

You have broke promise twice
(Deare) to undoe me;
If you prove faithlesse thrice,
None then will wooe you.
