TO LARR by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: NO MORE SHALL I, SINCE I AM DRIVEN HENCE
Last Line: WARME BY A GLIT'RING CHIMNIE ALL THE YEARE.
Subject(s): WINTER;
No more shall I, since I am driven hence,
Devote to thee my graines of Frankinsence:
No more shall I from mantle-trees hang downe,
To honour thee, my little Parsly crown:
No more shall I (I feare me) to thee bring
My chives of Garlick for an offering:
No more shall I, from henceforth, heare a quire
Of merry Crickets by my Country fire,
Go where I will, thou luckie Larr stay here,
Warme by a glit'ring chimnie all the yeare.
