BURY HIM DEEP, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Bury him deep. So damned a work should lie / nearer the devil than man
Last Line: In bed, talking secrets.
Subject(s): Hate


Bury him deep. So damned a work should lie
Nearer the Devil than man. Make him a bed
Beneath some lock-jawed hell, that never yawns
With earthquake or eruption; and so deep
That he may hear the devil and his wife
In bed, talking secrets.
