TO A GENTLEWOMAN ON JUST DEALING by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: TRUE TO YOUR SELF, AND SHEETS, YOU'L HAVE ME SWEAR
Last Line: TO KEEP MY BOND STILL FREE FROM FORFEITURE.

True to your self, and sheets, you'l have me swear,
You shall; if righteous dealing I find there.
Do not you fall through frailty; Ile be sure
To keep my Bond still free from forfeiture.
