SINNERS by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: SINNERS CONFOUNDED ARE A TWOFOLD WAY
Last Line: OR WHEN, FOR SINS, MEN SUFFER PUNISHMENT.
Subject(s): SIN;

Sinners confounded are a twofold way,
Either as when (the learned Schoolemen say)
Mens sins destroyed are, when they repent;
Or when, for sins, men suffer punishment.
