Robert Herrick (Роберт Геррик (Херрик))

The Ceremonies for Candlemas Day

Kindle the Christmas brand, and then
Till sunset let it burn;
Which quench'd, then lay it up again,
Till Christmas next return.

Part must be kept, wherewith to teend
The Christmas log next year;
And where 'tis safely kept, the fiend
Can do no mischief there.

3. No Pains, No Gains
4. Upon Wrinkles
5. To Live Freely
