THE HEADACHE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY HEAD DOTH ACHE
Last Line: AND PHYSIC.
Subject(s): HEADACHES;

MY head doth ache,
O Sappho! take
Thy fillet,
And bind the pain;
Or bring some bane
To kill it.

But less that part,
Than my poor heart,
Now is sick:
One kiss from thee
Will counsel be,
And physic.
