“See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!

Perspiring pounded cinnamon.
The phoenix-nest,
Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
Who therein would not consume
His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.”
