Poems by Henry King
Upon a Braid of Hair in a Heart sent by Mrs. E. H.
... Whil'st we shall live, know, this chain'd Heart ...
The Forlorn Hope
... Farewell thou dream of nothing! thou meer voice! ...
Tell Me No More How Fair She Is
... Which crowns my heart when ere it dyes, &emsp ...
SONNET. Tell me you stars that our affections move
... Or make me ice, and with her chrystall chaines ...
A Contemplation upon Flowers
... You fragrant flowers! then teach me, that my breath ...
The Legacy
... So by those precious drops rain'd from thine eies, ...
On two Children dying of one Disease, and buried in one Grave
... Heav'n hath decreed you ne're shall cost me more, ...
PARADOX. That Fruition destroyes Love
... When he did more then look, that made th' offence, ...
Being waked out of my sleep by a snuff of Candle which offended me, I thus thought
... Nor is it strange, when we in charnells dwell, ...
The Retreat
... or reach The leading billow first ran down the breach ...
AThe Anniverse. AN ELEGY.
... Sprung out of my lone thoughts, which know no path ...
AN ELEGY Upon S. W. R.
... (Which thou could'st spare them) to eclipse thy praise ...
The Dirge
... Whose spring and fall faint seasons keep, ...
A Penitential Hymne
... And Crimson there turn white, though washt with blood ...
St. Valentines day
... Henceforth I need not make the dust my Shrine, ...
