Famous quotes containing the words robert herrick and/or herrick:

    Feed him ye must, whose food fills you.
    And that this pleasure is like raine,
    Not sent ye for to drowne your paine,
    But for to make it spring againe.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
    With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
    And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
    Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
    For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
    Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
