THE TRANSFIGURATION by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: IMMORTALL CLOTHING I PUT ON
Last Line: THAT SHIN'ST THUS IN THY COUNTERFEIT?

Immortall clothing I put on,
So soone as Julia I am gon
To mine eternall Mansion.

Thou, thou art here, to humane sight
Cloth'd all with incorrupted light;
But yet how more admir'dly bright

Wilt thou appear, when thou art set
In thy refulgent Thronelet,
That shin'st thus in thy counterfeit?
