So when or you or I are made A fable, song, or fleeting shade All love, all liking, all delight Lies drowned with us in endless night. Then while time serves, and we are but decaying Come, my Corinna, come, let's go a Maying.
Robert Herrick
Who covets more is evermore a slave.
Robert Herrick
Seldom comes Glory till a man be dead.

What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve: the sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love.
Robert Herrick
In prayer the lips ne'er act the winning part, Without the sweet concurrence of the heart.
Robert Herrick
I dare not ask a kiss I dare not beg a smile Lest having that or this, I might grow proud the while. No, no, the utmost share Of my desire shall be Only to kiss that air, That lately kissed thee.
Robert Herrick
