PRAY AND PROSPER, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: First offer incense, then thy field and meads Last Line: Pray once, twice pray; and turn thy ground to gold. Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
First offer Incense, then thy field and meads Shall smile and smell the better by thy beads. The spangling Dew dreg'd o're the grasse shall be Turn'd all to Mell, and Manna there for thee. Butter of Amber, Cream, and Wine, and Oile Shall run, as rivers, all throughout thy soyl. Wod'st thou to sincere-silver turn thy mold?
