Poem by Robert Herrick

His Desire

Give me a man that is not dull,
When all the world with rifts is full;
But unamazed dares clearly sing,
Whenas the roof's a-tottering;
And though it falls, continues still
Tickling the Cittern with his quill.

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