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. Upon Mrs Eliz. Wheeler, under the Name of Amarillis
2. Lovers How They Come and Part
3. To Carnations: a Song
4. To Daisies, Not to Shut so Soon
5. The Lily in a Crystal
