“To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time”by Robert Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he’s to setting.
That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime, You may forever tarry.

“Ode to Man”
1. Using the TPCASTT model with a partner, analyze Ode 1 from Antigone (also known as the “Ode to Man”) in your journals.
2. In a well-developed paragraph (5-6 sentences), compare/contrast Herrick’s poem to “Ode to Man.” Consider their themes, structure, the relationship between man and nature, and the different points of view.
