Additional quotes by Robert Herrick

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; then to that twenty, add a hundred more; a thousand to that hundred: so kiss on, to make that thousand up a million. treble that million, and when that is done, let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun!

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

If little labour, little are our gains:
Man's fortunes are according to his pains.

We such clusters had As made us nobly wild, not mad; And yet each verse of thine Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine. - Robert Herrick
