" "
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?

Additional quotes by Robert Herrick

Love is a circle that doth restless move
In the same sweet eternity of love.

Wantons we are, and though our words be such
Our lives do differ from our lines by much.

A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
