GODS DESCENT by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GOD IS THEN SAID FOR TO DESCEND, WHEN HE
Last Line: THEN EVER, YET, THE LIKE WAS DONE BEFORE.
Subject(s): SECOND ADVENT; SECOND COMING OF CHRIST;
God is then said for to descend, when He
Doth, here on earth, some thing of novitie;
As when, in humane nature He works more
Then ever, yet, the like was done before.
