TO SAPHO by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOU SAIST THOU LOV'ST ME SAPHO; I SAY NO
Last Line: THAT THOU BE RIGHTEOUS FOUND; AND I THE LYER.

Thou saist thou lov'st me Sapho; I say no,
But would to Love I could beleeve 'twas so!
Pardon my feares (sweet Sapho,) I desire
That thou be righteous found; and I the Lyer.
