HIS SAVIOURS WORDS, GOING TO THE CROSSE, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Have, have ye no regard, all ye Last Line: Had he not drank them up for you. Subject(s): Christianity; Crucifixion; Jesus Christ - Suffering & Sacrifice; Jesus Christ - Crucifixion | |||
Have, have ye no regard, all ye Who passe this way, to pitie me, Who am a man of miserie! A man both bruis'd, and broke, and one Who suffers not here for mine own, But for my friends transgression! Ah! Sions Daughters, do not feare The Crosse, the Cords, the Nailes, the Speare, The Myrrhe, the Gall, the Vineger: For Christ, your loving Saviour, hath Drunk up the wine of Gods fierce wrath; Onely, there's left a little froth, Lesse for to tast, then for to shew, What bitter cups had been your due, Had He not drank them up for you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
