Classic and Contemporary Poetry


ON HIMSELFE (6) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LIVE BY THY MUSE THOU SHALT; WHEN OTHER DIE
Last Line: HERE SHALL ENDURE THY VAST DOMINION.

Live by thy Muse thou shalt; when others die
Leaving no Fame to long Posterity:
When Monarchies trans-shifted are, and gone
Here shall endure thy vast Dominion.
