Poem by Robert Herrick

A Mean in Our Means

Though frankincense the deities require,
We must not give all to the hallow'd fire.
Such be our gifts, and such be our expense,
As for ourselves to leave some frankincense.

1. Upon the Detracter
2. I Call and I Call
3. The Succession of the Four Sweet Months
4. Love, What It Is
5. Upon a Painted Gentlewoman
