Robert Herrick (Роберт Геррик (Херрик))

The Plaudite, or End of Life

If after rude and boisterous seas
My wearied pinnace here finds ease;
If so it be I've gain'd the shore,
With safety of a faithful oar;
If having run my barque on ground,
Ye see the aged vessel crown'd;
What's to be done?  but on the sands
Ye dance and sing, and now clap hands.
—The first act's doubtful, but (we say)
It is the last commends the Play.

3. No Pains, No Gains
4. Felicity Quick of Flight
5. Upon Wrinkles
