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. Upon Mrs Eliz. Wheeler, under the Name of Amarillis
2. The Lily in a Crystal
3. Upon Love: By Way of Question and Answer
4. Orpheus
5. To the Water-Nymphs Drinking at the Fountain
