TO HIS MUSE, ANOTHER TO HENRY, MARQUESSE OF DORCHESTER by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: TELL THAT BRAVE MAN, FAIN THOU WO'DST HAVE ACCESS
Last Line: READY TO BLUSH TO DEATH, SHO'D HE BUT CHIDE.
Tell that Brave Man, fain thou wo'dst have access
To kiss his hands, but that for fearfullness;
Or else because th' art like a modest Bride,
Ready to blush to death, sho'd he but chide.
