Famous quotes containing the word herrick:

    We die,
    As your hours do, and dry
    Away,
    Like to the summer’s rain;
    Or as the pearls of morning’s dew
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    or the warm soft side
    Of the resigning yet resisting bride.
    The kiss of virgins first-fruits of the bed;
    Soft speech, smooth touch, the lips, the maidenhead;
    These and a thousand sweets could never be
    So near or dear as thou wast once to me.
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    I dare not ask a kiss,
    I dare not beg a smile,
    Lest having that, or this,
    I might grow proud the while.

    No, no, the utmost share
    Of my desire shall be
    Only to kiss that air
    That lately kissed thee.
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
