Poem by Robert Herrick

Upon the Detracter

I ask'd thee oft what poets thou hast read,
And lik'st the best?  Still thou repli'st, The dead.
—I shall, ere long, with green turfs cover'd be;
Then sure thou'lt like, or thou wilt envy, me.

1. On Himself (Live by thy Muse thou shalt, when others die)
2. The Heart
3. Man's Dying-Place Uncertain
4. I Call and I Call
5. Felicity Quick of Flight
