Poem by Robert Herrick

Anthea's Retractation

     Anthea laugh'd, and, fearing lest excess
     Might stretch the cords of civil comeliness
     She with a dainty blush rebuked her face,
     And call'd each line back to his rule and space.

1. Felicity Quick of Flight

3. Upon a Painted Gentlewoman
4. Purposes
5. The Heart
