MEAT WITHOUT MIRTH by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: EATEN I HAVE; AND THOUGH I HAD GOOD CHEERE
Last Line: OR SUP, THERE WANTS THE INCENSE AND THE WINE.
Subject(s): FOOD & EATING;
Eaten I have; and though I had good cheere,
I did not sup, because no friends were there.
Where Mirth and Friends are absent when we Dine
Or Sup, there wants the Incense and the Wine.
