Poem by Robert Herrick

Upon a Virgin Kissing a Rose

'TWAS but a single Rose,
    Till you on it did breathe ;
But since, methinks, it shows
    Not so much Rose as wreath.

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