Poem by Robert Herrick

Purposes

No wrath of men, or rage of seas,
Can shake a just man's purposes;
No threats of tyrants, or the grim
Visage of them can alter him;
But what he doth at first intend,
That he holds firmly to the end.

1. Felicity Quick of Flight
2. Upon a Painted Gentlewoman
3. Upon Tears
4. On Himself (Live by thy Muse thou shalt, when others die)
5. The Heart
