Robert H.

Famous quotes containing the words robert h., robert h:

    I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
    Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
    I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
    Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
    I write of youth, of love, and have access
    By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    Here lies Jonson with the rest
    Of the poets; but the best.
    Reader, would’st thou more have known?
    Ask his story, not this stone.
    That will speak what this can’t tell
    Of his glory. So farewell.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
