One poem in this collection asks why the bull and boar "so sillily / Dissemble weakness" given that they "might swallow and feed upon" men. That poem begins "Why are we by all creatures waited on?" Its author writes that "a holy thirsty dropsy melts me yet" in a poem from this collection on the death of his wife, "Since she whom I loved hath paid her last debt." Another poem in this collection concludes that "I, / Except you enthrall me, never shall be free, / Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me." That poem asks its addressee to "break, blow, burn, and make me new." Its best-known poem asserts that "one short sleep past, we wake eternally," and this collection also includes a poem beginning "Batter my heart, three-person'd God."
