Poem by Robert Herrick

On a Perfumed Lady

You say you're sweet: how should we know
Whether that you be sweet or no?
-From powders and perfumes keep free;
Then we shall smell how sweet you be! 

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