TO HIS GIRLES WHO WOULD HAVE HIM SPORTFULL by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALAS I CAN'T, FOR TELL ME HOW
Last Line: YE QUAKE FOR COLD TO LOOKE ON ME.

Alas I can't, for tell me how
Can I be gamesome (aged now)
Besides ye see me daily grow
Here Winter-like, to Frost and Snow.
And I ere long, my Girles shall see,
Ye quake for cold to looke on me.
