JUDGEMENT, by GEORGE HERBERT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Almighty judge, how shall poor wretches brook Last Line: There thou shalt finde my faults are thine. Subject(s): Judges; Judgment Day; End Of The World; Doomsday; Fall Of Man | |||
ALMIGHTIE Judge, how shall poore wretches brook Thy dreadful look, Able a heart of iron to appall, When thou shalt call For ev'ry mans peculiar book? What others mean to do, I know not well; Yet I heare tell, That some will turn thee to some leaves therein So void of sinne. That they in merit shall excell. But I resolve, when thou shalt call for mine, That to decline, And thrust a Testament into thy hand: Let that be scann'd. There thou shalt finde my faults are thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON ETHNIC DEFINITIONS by ELEANOR WILNER THE MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND HELL by WILLIAM BLAKE THE END OF THE WORLD by GORDON BOTTOMLEY 1X1 (ONE TIMES ONE): 20 by EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS ONCE BY THE PACIFIC by ROBERT FROST A DIALOGUE ANTHEM by GEORGE HERBERT |
