In "Virtue", George Herbert speaks of the permanence of a virtuous soul. All the beautiful things of the world including a sweet day, a sweet rose and the sweet spring are subject to decay but a virtuous soul remains unchanged. To assert his points Herbert uses three images in this poem. First he speaks of a sweet day which must comes to an end and be swallowed up by dark night. Secondly he refers to a sweet rose which in spite of its sweet color and fragrance is destined to wither.    Thirdly he speaks of a spring which, with its music and color is damaged to sink into oblivion. You can read this poem under this following chapters~
