GODS KEYES by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GOD HAS FOUR KEYES, WHICH HE RESERVES ALONE
Last Line: AND WITH THE FOURTH KEY HE UNLOCKS THE TOMBE.
Subject(s): GOD;
God has foure keyes, which He reserves alone;
The first of Raine, the key of Hell next known:
With the third key He opes and shuts the wombe;
And with the fourth key He unlocks the tombe.
