GOOD PRECEPTS, OR COUNSELL, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In all thy need, be thou possest Last Line: Then lutes and harpes shall stroke the eare. | ||||||||
In all thy need, be thou possest Still with a well-prepared brest: Nor let the shackles make thee sad; Thou canst but have, what others had. And this for comfort thou must know, Times that are ill wo'nt still be so. Clouds will not ever powre down raine; A sullen day will cleere againe. First, peales of Thunder we must heare, Then Lutes and Harpes shall stroke the eare. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK A THANKSGIVING TO GOD [FOR HIS HOUSE] by ROBERT HERRICK ANOTHER GRACE FOR A CHILD by ROBERT HERRICK ART ABOVE NATURE: TO JULIA by ROBERT HERRICK CEREMONIES FOR CANDLEMASSE EVE by ROBERT HERRICK CEREMONIES FOR CHRISTMAS (1) by ROBERT HERRICK CLOTHES DO BUT CHEAT AND COZEN US by ROBERT HERRICK COMFORT [TO A YOUTH THAT HAD LOST HIS LOVE] by ROBERT HERRICK |
