Hag

Hag is a poem by 17th-century English author Robert Herrick, known for his classical style influenced by Ben Jonson and late Elizabethan poetry. Written during a time when his work was overshadowed by the metaphysical poets, this Halloween-themed poem reflects Herrick's unique voice and traditional approach. Although not widely appreciated in his own time, Herrick's poetry saw a resurgence in the early 19th century and has remained in print ever since.
