THE QUIDDITY, by GEORGE HERBERT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My god, a verse is not a crown Last Line: I am with thee, and most take all. Variant Title(s): The Quiddittie | ||||||||
MY God, a verse is not a crown; No point of honour, or gay suit; No hawk, or banquet, or renown; Nor a good sword, nor yet a lute. It cannot vault, or dance, or play; It never was in France or Spain; Nor can it entertain the day With a great stable or demain. It is no office, art, or news; Nor the exchange, or busie hall: But it is that which while I use, I am with thee, and Most take all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A TRUE HYMN [HYMNE] by GEORGE HERBERT CHURCH MONUMENTS by GEORGE HERBERT CHURCH-MUSICK [CHURCH MUSIC] by GEORGE HERBERT |
