UPON HIMSELF (3), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Mop-eyed I am, as some have said
Last Line: Rather then mend, put out the light.


Mop-ey'd I am, as some have said,
Because I've liv'd so long a maid:
But grant that I sho'd wedded be,
Sho'd I a jot the better see?
No, I sho'd think, that Marriage might,
Rather then mend, put out the light.
