Poem by Robert Herrick

His Request to Julia

Julia, if I chance to die
Ere I print my poetry,
I most humbly thee desire
To commit it to the fire:
Better 'twere my book were dead,
Than to live not perfected.

1. The Apron of Flowers
2. To Carnations: a Song
3. To Violets
4. To Primroses Filled with Morning Dew
5. To Daisies, Not to Shut so Soon
