The author demonstrates that Herbert's pattern poems were extensions of the Emblematic tradition. He also provides several other examples of Alter poems in the classic literature. According to others, the religious content is not a mandatory feature of emblem poems.The emblem poem depicted in this bibliographic citation was taken from Withers' "A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne" (1635).
