ON LOVE (1) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE BADE ME ASK A GIFT
Last Line: THAT LONG I LOVE NOT ANY.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Love bade me aske a gift,
And I no more did move,
But this, that I might shift
Still with my clothes, my Love:
That favour granted was;
Since which, though I love many,
Yet so it comes to passe,
That long I love not any.
