Additional quotes by Robert Herrick

Some would know
Why I so
Long still doe tarry,
And ask why
Here that I
Live, and not marry?
Thus I those
Doe oppose;
What man would be here,
Slave to Thrall,
If at all
He could live free here?

Some asked me where the rubies grew,
And nothing I did say;
But with my finger pointed to
The lips of Julia.

Then while time serves, and we are but decaying.
Come, my Corinna, come, let's go a Maying.
