TO GOD (15) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF I HAVE PLAID THE TRUANT, OR HAVE HERE
Last Line: BUT WHERE SIN SWELLS, THERE LET THY GRACE ABOUND.
Subject(s): GOD;

If I have plaid the Truant, or have here
Fail'd in my part; O! Thou that art my deare,
My mild, my loving Tutor, Lord and God!
Correct my errors gently with Thy Rod.
I know, that faults will many here be found,
But where sin swells, there let Thy grace abound.
