More quotes by Robert Herrick
The person lives twice who lives the first life well
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
The body is the soul's poor house or home, whose ribs the laths are and whose flesh the loam.
Robert Herrick
Go to your banquet then, but use delight So as to rise still with an appetite.
Robert Herrick

Robert Herrick
In the hour of my distress, When temptations me oppress, And when I my sins confess, Sweet Spirit, comfort me.
Robert Herrick
Let wealth come in by comely thrift, And not by any sordid shift 'T is haste Makes waste Extremes have still their fault. Who gripes too hard the dry and slipp'ry sand, Holds none at all, or little, in his hand.
Robert Herrick
Who covets more is evermore a slave.

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score: Then to that twenty, add a hundred more.
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

Robert Herrick
Each must in virtue strive for to excel That man lives twice that lives the first life well.
Robert Herrick
Drink wine, and live here blitheful while ye may The morrow's life too late is live to-day.
Robert Herrick
Necessity makes dastards valiant men.
Robert Herrick
If little labour, little are our gains: Man's fortunes are according to his pains.
Robert Herrick
No, not Jove Himselfe, at one time, can be wise and love.
Robert Herrick
