HIS WORDS TO CHRIST, GOING TO THE CROSSE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN THOU WAST TAKEN, LORD, I OFT HAVE READ
Last Line: FOR ME TO FLIE, BUT NOW TO FOLLOW THEE.
Subject(s): CRUCIFIXION; JESUS CHRIST - CRUCIFIXION;

When Thou wast taken, Lord, I oft have read,
All Thy Disciples Thee forsook, and fled.
Let their example not a pattern be
For me to flie, but now to follow Thee.
