喜欢多恩的诗，坛从事另一种抑扬格五音步抑扬格四和的第一个对联。这首诗后来改变抑扬径四对联然后最后两对联镜交替米的第一两对联。类似于跳蚤，备用表突出说话人的特征。从以抑扬抑扬格四径立即切换速度加快的诗；中间部分说明了说话人的信息，他认为一个人应该为自己的上帝。抑扬对比过去，“符合这个框架/赞美你的名”（11/12）具有很高的意义。赫伯特巧妙地使用了双关引用这首诗的“框架”，也是一个人的精神状态。从这一点出发，交替表也符合诗的视觉形式，它是有效的，因为它与赫伯特使用的祭坛的形而上学的自负联系在一起。无论是诗人用各种仪表的显示或奸诈的动机在跳蚤或加强在祭坛的信息重要性的扬声器。
加拿大弗雷泽谷大学代写论文:多恩的诗
Like Donne’s poem, The Altar engages in an alternate iambic pentameter and iambic tetrameter for the first two couplets. The poem then changes to iambic dimeter for four couplets and then the last two couplets mirror the alternate meters in the first two couplets. Similarly to The Flea, the alternate meter’s highlight the speaker’s character. The immediate switch from iambic tetrameter to iambic dimeter speeds the pace of the poem up; the middle section illuminates the speaker’s message in how he believes one should offer himself to God. The last couple of iambic dimeter is, ‘Meets in this frame / To praise thy name’ (11/12) which is of high significance. Herbert cleverly uses a punning reference to the ‘frame’ of the poem and also a person’s state of mind. Following on from this, the alternate meter’s also fit in with the visual shape of the poem which is effective as it links in with the metaphysical conceit of an altar that Herbert uses throughout. Both poets use various meter’s to demonstrate either the duplicitous motive of the speaker in The Flea or to strengthen importance of the message in The Altar.
