UPON SAPPHO SWEETLY PLAYING AND SWEETLY SINGING, by ROBERT HERRICKPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: When thou dost play and sweetly sing Last Line: And dye away upon thy lute. Subject(s): Lutes
When thou do'st play, and sweetly sing, Whether it be the voice or string, Or both of them, that do agree Thus to en-trance and ravish me: This, this I know, I'm oft struck mute; And dye away upon thy Lute.
