Poet Analysis

First Line: MAKE HASTE AWAY, AND LET ONE BE
Last Line: MAKE HOODS OF THEE TO SERVE OUT SPICE.

Make haste away, and let one be
A friendly Patron unto thee:
Lest rapt from hence, I see thee lye
Torn for the use of Pasterie:
Or see thy injur'd Leaves serve well,
To make loose Gownes for Mackarell:
Or see the Grocers in a trice,
Make hoods of thee to serve out Spice.
