UPON A BRAID OF HAIR IN A HEART by HENRY KING (1592-1669)

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN THIS SMALL CHARACTER IS SENT
Last Line: BEQUEATH'D IT AS MY LEGACY.
Subject(s): HAIR; LOVE;
IN this small character is sent
My Love's eternal monument.
Whilst we shall live, know this chain'd heart
Is our affection's counterpart.
And if we never meet, think I
Bequeath'd it as my legacy.
