Poet Analysis

First Line: SINCE THOU WOULDST NEEDS, BEWITCHED WITH SOME ILL CHARMS
Last Line: UPON THY TENDER LIMBS! AND SO GOOD NIGHT.
Subject(s): LOVE - AGE DIFFERENCES;
Since thou wouldst needs (bewitch'd with some ill charms!)
Be buried in those monumental arms,
All we can wish is, may that earth lie light
Upon thy tender limbs! and so good night.
