THE MOUNT OF THE MUSES by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: AFTER THY LABOUR TAKE THINE EASE
Last Line: NOT SUBJECT TO CORRUPTION.
Subject(s): MUSES;

After thy labour take thine ease,
Here with the sweet Pierides.
But if so be that men will not
Give thee the Laurell Crowne for lot;
Be yet assur'd, thou shalt have one
Not subject to corruption.
