THE CHURCH-PORCH: SUPERLIMINARE, by GEORGE HERBERT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Thou, whom the former precepts have
Last Line: May at his perill further go.
First Line: Thou, whom the former precepts have
Last Line: May at his perill further go.
THOU whom the former precepts have
Sprinkled and taught, how to behave
Thyself in church; approach, and taste
The churches mysticall repast.
Avoid profanenesse; come not here:
Nothing but holy, pure, and cleare,
Or that which groneth to be so,
May at his perill further go.
