NO LUCK IN LOVE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I DOE LOVE I KNOW NOT WHAT
Last Line: HE WHO MUST BE, SHALL BE POORE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
1. I doe love I know not what;
Sometimes this, & sometimes that:
All conditions I aime at.

2. But, as lucklesse, I have yet
Many shrewd disasters met,
To gaine her whom I wo'd get.

3. Therefore now Ile love no more,
As I've doted heretofore:
He who must be, shall be poore.
