THE CARKANET by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: INSTEAD OF ORIENT PEARLS OF JET
Last Line: MY JET T'ENTHRALL SUCH IVORIE.
Subject(s): JEWELRY & JEWELERS; RINGS; BRACELETS; NECKLACES;

Instead of Orient Pearls of Jet,
I sent my Love a Karkanet:
About her spotlesse neck she knit
The lace, to honour me, or it:
Then think how wrapt was I to see
My Jet t'enthrall such Ivorie.
