In George Herbert ’s poem "The Collar‚" published in The Temple (1633)‚ the author/persona rebels against the casuistry that the Christian life imposes‚ only to be brought back finally into childlike submission when he hears (or thinks he hears) the "Lord ’s" gentle rebuke. My argument is that‚ astoundingly‚ the poem ’s elaborate‚ random-seeming rhyme scheme--itself "collar-like" because it edges the poem--encodes witty messages that force us to rethink the poem ’s meaning‚ especially its serious

The main characters: The man (referred to only as "the American") and his female companion‚ named Jig.

In many ways‚ this story is told by a woman very much like Jig. In the end‚ both of these women have abortions‚ but it is clear that their hearts are heavy about the decision.
