Temptations hurt not, though they have accesse Satan o'ercomes none but by willingnesse.
Robert Herrick

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

Robert Herrick
Oft have I heard both youths and virgins say, Birds chuse their mates and couple too this day: But by their flight I never can devine When I shall couple with my valentine.
Robert Herrick
Fight thou with shafts of silver, and o'ercome When no force else can get the masterdom
Robert Herrick
Whatever comes, let's be content withal: Among God's blessings there is no one small.
Robert Herrick
Tis hard to find God, but to comprehend Him, as He is, is labour without end.
Robert Herrick
What though the sea be calm? trust to the shore, Ships have been drown'd, where late they danc'd before.
Robert Herrick
Learn this of me, where'er thy lot doth fall, Short lot, or not, to be content with all.
Robert Herrick
Next, when I cast mine eyes and see That brave vibration each way free, O how that glittering taketh me!
Robert Herrick
Each must in virtue strive for to excel That man lives twice that lives the first life well.
