Poem by Robert Herrick

Barley-Break; or, Last in Hell

We two are last in hell; what may we fear
To be tormented or kept pris'ners here I
Alas!  if kissing be of plagues the worst,
We'll wish in hell we had been last and first.

1. To Violets
2. To Primroses Filled with Morning Dew
3. To Pansies
4. To Carnations: a Song
5. The Bleeding Hand; or The Sprig of Eglantine Given to a Maid
