SATAN by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN WE 'GAINST SATAN STOUTLY FIGHT, THE MORE
Last Line: WHOM EASE MAKES HIS, WITHOUT THE HELP OF BLOWES.
Subject(s): DEVIL; SATAN; MEPHISTOPHELES; LUCIFER; BEELZEBUB;
When we 'gainst Satan stoutly fight, the more
He teares and tugs us, then he did before;
Neglecting once to cast a frown on those
Whom ease makes his, without the help of blowes.
