HIS ANSWER TO A QUESTION by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: SOME WOULD KNOW / WHY I SO
Last Line: HE COULD LIVE FREE HERE?
Subject(s): SINGLE PEOPLE; BACHELORS; UNMARRIED PEOPLE;
Some would know
Why I so
Long still doe tarry,
And ask why
Here that I
Live, and not marry?
Thus I those
Doe oppose;
What man would be here,
Slave to Thrall,
If at all
He could live free here?
