AFFLICTION by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GOD N'ERE AFFLICTS US MORE THAN OUR DESERT
Last Line: BUT YET STILL LESSE THEN GRACE CAN SUFFER HERE.
Subject(s): GOD;
God n'ere afflicts us more then our desert,
Though He may seem to over-act His part:
Sometimes He strikes us more then flesh can beare;
But yet still lesse then Grace can suffer here.
