Poem by Robert Herrick

Clemency

FOR punishment in war it will suffice
If the chief author of the faction dies ;
Let but few smart, but strike a fear through all ;
Where the fault springs there let the judgment fall.

1. To Carnations: a Song
2. The Apron of Flowers
3. The Changes: to Corinna
4. The Present; or, The Bag of the Bee
5. A Request to the Graces
