Robert H.

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

    See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
    Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!
    As a fired altar is each stone,
    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)

    When as that Rubie, which you weare,
    Sunk from the tip of your soft eare,
    Will last to be a precious Stone,
    When all your world of Beautie ‘s gone.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
