UPON LUCIA DABLED IN THE DEAW by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY LUCIA IN THE DEAW DID GO
Last Line: DENI'D THE MASK I WO'D HAVE SEEN.
My Lucia in the deaw did go,
And prettily bedabled so,
Her cloaths held up, she shew'd withall
Her decent legs, cleane, long and small.
I follow'd after to descrie
Part of the nak't sincerity;
But still the envious Scene between
Deni'd the Mask I wo'd have seen.
