UPON LOVE (7), by ROBERT HERRICKPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: I plaid with love, as with the fire Last Line: The fire scortcht my heart. Subject(s): Love
1. I plaid with Love, as with the fire The wanton Satyre did; Nor did I know, or co'd descry What under there was hid.
2. That Satyre he but burnt his lips; (But min's the greater smart) For kissing Loves dissembling chips, The fire scortcht my heart.
