TO ELECTRA (5) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHALL I GO TO LOVE AND TELL
Last Line: LOVE IS THEN CONSUMING FIRE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Shall I go to Love and tell,
Thou art all turn'd isicle?
Shall I say her Altars be
Disadorn'd, and scorn'd by thee?
O beware! in time submit;
Love has yet no wrathfull fit:
If her patience turns to ire,
Love is then consuming fire.
