Poem by Robert Herrick

To the Soure Reader

If thou dislik'st the Piece thou light'st on first;
Thinke that of All, that I have writ, the worst:
But if thou read'st my Booke unto the end,
And still do'st this, and that verse, reprehend:
O Perverse man! If All disgustfull be,
The Extreame Scabby take thee, and thine, for me.

1. To the Rose
2. The Funeral Rites of the Rose
3. The Succession of the Four Sweet Months
4. The Shower of Blossoms
5. Upon a Painted Gentlewoman
