Abstract

Robert Herrick's use of ceremony in his poetry generally has been understood to be closely related to his artistry. Critics have attempted to show that cere­mony gives ornament and even form to Herrick's lyric mode. However, ceremony has a more organic relationship to Herrick's ceremonial poetry than such an emphasis implies. Herrick's view of ceremony informs certain poems to the extent that it becomes e controlling metaphor of the kind that indicates a way of perceiving the world.
