Poems by Robert Herrick
Man
... Want is a softer wax, that takes thereon, ...
Satisfaction For Suffering
... 'Tis sweet to think on what was hard t'endure ...
Ceremonies For Christmas
... To fill the paste that's a-kneading ...
Meditation For His Mistress
... Yet lost, ere that chaste flesh and blood ...
The Bell-man
... Scores of sins we've made here many ...
Peace Not Permanence
... T' invade from far, they'll find worse foes at home ...
Wit Punished Prospers Most
... Good wits get more fame by their punishment ...
Another Grace For A Child
... Cold as paddocks though they be, ...
His Prayer For Absolution
... But if, 'mongst all, Thou find'st here one ...
His Prayer To Ben Jonson
... And thou, Saint Ben, shalt be ...
His Wish To God
... Thy cross, my Christ, fix'd 'fore mine eyes should be, ...
Upon Parson Beanes
... That on the seventh he can nor preach or pray ...
What Kind Of Mistress He Would Have
... Clean in manners, clear in voice ...
