TO BIANCHA, TO BLESSE HIM by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WO'D I WOOE, AND WO'D I WINNE
Last Line: I BE KIST, OR BLEST BY THEE.

Wo'd I wooe, and wo'd I winne,
Wo'd I well my worke begin?
Wo'd I evermore be crown'd
With the end that I propound?
Wo'd I frustrate, or prevent
All Aspects malevolent?
Thwart all Wizzards, and with these
Dead all black contingencies:
Place my words, and all works else
In most happy Parallels?
All will prosper, if so be
I be kist, or blest by thee.
