COURAGE COOL'D by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I CANNOT LOVE, AS I HAVE LOV'D BEFORE
Last Line: MUST NEEDS WAX COLD, IF WANTING BREAD AND WINE.
Subject(s): OLD AGE;
I cannot love, as I have lov'd before:
For, I'm grown old; &, with mine age, grown poore:
Love must be fed by wealth: this blood of mine
Must needs wax cold, if wanting bread and wine.
