TO HIS WORTHY FRIEND, M. ARTHUR BARTLY by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN AFTER MANY LUSTERS THOU SHALT BE
Last Line: HERE WITH THE GENERATION OF MY JUST.

When after many Lusters thou shalt be
Wrapt up in Seare-cloth with thine Ancestrie:
When of thy ragg'd Escutcheons shall be seene
So little left, as if they ne'r had been:
Thou shalt thy Name have, and thy Fames best trust,
Here with the Generation of my Just.
