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?

Tears are the noble language of eyes, and when true love of words is destitute. The eye by tears speak, while the tongue is mute.
