ON HIMSELFE (4) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: BORNE I WAS TO MEET WITH AGE
Last Line: DRINKING WINE, & CROWN'D WITH FLOWRES.
Subject(s): SELF;
Borne I was to meet with Age,
And to walke Life's pilgrimage.
Much I know of Time is spent,
Tell I can't, what's Resident.
Howsoever, cares, adue;
Ile have nought to say to you:
But Ile spend my comming houres,
Drinking wine, & crown'd with flowres.
