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. The Changes: to Corinna
2. The Apron of Flowers
3. The Lily in a Crystal
4. Lovers How They Come and Part
5. The Kiss: A Dialogue
