AFFLICTION, by ROBERT HERRICKPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: God n'ere afflicts us more than our desert Last Line: But yet still lesse then grace can suffer here. Subject(s): God
God n'ere afflicts us more then our desert, Though He may seem to over-act His part: Sometimes He strikes us more then flesh can beare; But yet still lesse then Grace can suffer here.
