TO SPRINGS AND FOUNTAINS by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I HEARD YE CO'D COOLE HEAT; AND CAME
Last Line: YE BOIL WITH LOVE, AS WELL AS I.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I heard ye co'd coole heat; and came
With hope you would allay the same:
Thrice I have washt, but feel no cold,
Nor find that true, which was foretold.
Me thinks like mine, your pulses beat;
And labour with unequall heat:
Cure, cure your selves, for I discrie,
Ye boil with Love, as well as I.
