TO ELECTRA: LOVE LOOKS FOR LOVE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE LOVE BEGETS, THEN NEVER BE
Last Line: THEN YOU MUST LIKE, BECAUSE I LOVE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Love love begets, then never be
Unsoft to him who's smooth to thee.
Tygers and Beares (I've heard some say)
For profer'd love will love repay:
None are so harsh, but if they find
Softnesse in others, will be kind;
Affection will affection move,
Then you must like, because I love.
