A WILL TO BE WORKING by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALTHOUGH WE CANNOT TURNE THE FERVENT FIT
Last Line: TIS FOR OUR GLORY, THAT WE DID RESIST.

Although we cannot turne the fervent fit
Of sin, we must strive 'gainst the streame of it:
And howsoe're we have the conquest mist;
'Tis for our glory, that we did resist.
