Robert Herrick (Роберт Геррик (Херрик))

The Primrose

Ask me why I send you here
This sweet Infanta of the year?
Ask me why I send to you
This Primrose, thus bepearl'd with dew?
I will whisper to your ears,—
The sweets of love are mixt with tears.

Ask me why this flower does show
So yellow-green, and sickly too?
Ask me why the stalk is weak
And bending, yet it doth not break?
I will answer,—these discover
What fainting hopes are in a lover.

3. The Lily in a Crystal
4. To a Gentlewoman, Objecting to Him His Gray Hairs
5. To the Water-Nymphs Drinking at the Fountain
