TO HIS DEARE VALENTINE, MISTRESSE MARGARET FALCONBRIGE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: NOW IS YOUR TURNE (MY DEAREST) TO BE SET
Last Line: LET ME AND IT SHINE EVERMORE BY YOU.

Now is your turne (my Dearest) to be set
A Jem in this eternall Coronet:
'T was rich before; but since your Name is downe,
It sparkles now like Ariadne's Crowne.
Blaze by this Sphere for ever: Or this doe,
Let Me and It shine evermore by you.
