I cannot love as I have lov'd before; 4 480 210: Cross And Pile. Fair and foul days trip cross and pile; the fair 2 499 211: Crosses. Though good things answer many good intents, 2 474 212: Crosses. Our crosses are no other than the rods, 4 491 213: Cruelties. Nero commanded; but withdrew his eyes 2 497 214: Cruelty Base In Commanders.

Fortune no higher project can devise 2 438 229: Dissuasions From Idleness. Cynthius, pluck ye by the ear, 14 426 230: Distance Betters Dignities. Kings must not oft be seen by public eyes: 2 482 231: Distrust. To safeguard man from wrongs, there nothing must 4 463 232: Distrust. Whatever men for loyalty pretend, 2 492 233: Divination By A Daffodil When a daffodil I see, 745 234: Doomsday. Let not that day God's friends and servants scare; 2 492 235: Draw And Drink.

Empires of kings are now, and ever were, 2 466 242: Epitaph On The Tomb Of Sir Edward Giles And His Wife In The South Aisle Of Dean Prior Church, Devon.

By time and counsel do the best we can, 2 414 246: Evil. Evil no nature hath; the loss of good 2 470 247: Examples; Or, Like Prince, Like People. Examples lead us, and we likely see; 2 441 248: Excess. Excess is sluttish: keep the mean; for why? 2 485 249: Expenses Exhaust. Live with a thrifty, not a needy fate; 2 463 250: Factions. The factions of the great ones call, 2 490 251: Fair After Foul. Tears quickly dry, griefs will in time decay: 2 415 252: Fair Days: Or, Dawns Deceitful. Fair was the dawn, and but e'en now the skies 8 440 253: Fair Shows Deceive. Smooth was the sea, and seem'd to call 6 441 254: Faith Four-Square.

Despair takes heart, when there's no hope to speed: 2 470 261: Fear. Man must do well out of a good intent; 2 470 262: Felicity Knows No Fence. Of both our fortunes good and bad we find 4 428 263: Felicity Quick Of Flight Every time seems short to be 735 264: Few Fortunate. Many we are, and yet but few possess 2 427 265: First Work, And Then Wages. Preposterous is that order, when we run 2 453 266: Flattery.

Glory no other thing is, Tully says, 2 439 277: God And The King. How am I bound to Two! God, who doth give 2 431 278: God Has A Twofold Part. God, when for sin He makes His children smart, 4 375 279: God Hears Us. God, who's in heaven, will hear from thence; 2 457 280: God Is One. God, as He is most holy known, 2 445 281: God Not To Be Comprehended. Tis hard to find God, but to comprehend 2 435 282: God Sparing In Scourging. God still rewards us more than our desert; 2 429 283: God To Be First Served. Honour thy parents; but good manners call 2 482 284: God's Anger Without Affection. God when He's angry here with anyone, 4 364 285: God's Anger. God can't be wrathful: but we may conclude 4 479 286: God's Blessing. In vain our labours are whatsoe'er they be, 2 482 287: God's Bounty. God's bounty, that ebbs less and less 2 479 288: God's Bounty. God, as He's potent, so He's likewise known 2 458 289: God's Commands. In God's commands ne'er ask the reason why; 2 418 290: God's Descent. God is then said for to descend, when He 4 419 291: God's Dwelling. God's said to dwell there, wheresoever He 4 432 292: God's Gifts Not Soon Granted. God hears us when we pray, but yet defers 4 374 293: God's Grace. God's grace deserves here to be daily fed 2 485 294: God's Hands. God's hands are round and smooth, that gifts may fall 2 500 295: God's Keys God has four keys, which He reserves alone: 4 502 296: God's Mercy. God's boundless mercy is, to sinful man, 6 404 297: God's Mirth: Man's Mourning. Where God is merry, there write down thy fears: 2 425 298: God's Pardon. When I shall sin, pardon my trespass here; 2 490 299: God's Part. Prayers and praises are those spotless two 2 455 300: God's Power. God is so potent, as His power can 2 460 301: God's Presence God's present everywhere, but most of all 4 443 302: God's Presence. God's evident, and may be said to be 2 411 303: God's Presence.

Put off Thy robe of purple, then go on 40 454 317: Good Luck Not Lasting. If well the dice run, let's applaud the cast: 2 434 318: Good Manners At Meat. This rule of manners I will teach my guests: 4 441 319: Good Men Afflicted Most. God makes not good men wantons, but doth bring 12 450 320: Good Precepts Or Counsel.

Afflictions they most profitable are 4 409 607: Persecutions Purify. God strikes His Church, but 'tis to this intent, 4 376 608: Perseverance. Hast thou begun an act? ne'er then give o'er: 2 440 609: Physicians. Physicians fight not against men; but these 2 389 610: Pity And Punishment. God doth embrace the good with love; and gains 2 448 611: Pity To The Prostrate. Tis worse than barbarous cruelty to show 2 438 612: Pleasures Pernicious. Where pleasures rule a kingdom, never there 2 404 613: Plots Not Still Prosperous. All are not ill plots that do sometimes fail; 2 404 614: Poetry Perpetuates The Poet. Here I myself might likewise die, 6 378 615: Poets. Wantons we are, and though our words be such, 2 377 616: Policy In Princes. That princes may possess a surer seat, 2 419 617: Possessions. Those possessions short-liv'd are, 2 366 618: Posting To Printing Let others to the printing-press run fast; 2 408 619: Potentates. Love and the Graces evermore do wait 2 412 620: Poverty And Riches Who with a little cannot be content, 882 621: Poverty And Riches. Give Want her welcome if she comes; we find 2 372 622: Poverty The Greatest Pack. To mortal men great loads allotted be, 2 382 623: Power And Peace. Tis never, or but seldom known, 2 417 624: Pray And Prosper First offer incense; then, thy field and meads 916 625: Pray And Prosper. First offer incense, then thy field and meads 8 331 626: Prayer. A prayer that is said alone 8 452 627: Prayers Must Have Poise. God, He rejects all prayers that are slight 2 409 628: Precepts. Good precepts we must firmly hold, 2 358 629: Predestination. Predestination is the cause alone 2 390 630: Prescience. God's prescience makes none sinful; but th' offence 2 410 631: Presence And Absence. When what is lov'd is present, love doth spring; 2 397 632: Present Government Grievous. Men are suspicious, prone to discontent: 2 401 633: Prevision Or Provision. That prince takes soon enough the victor's room 2 398 634: Pride Allowable In Poets. As thou deserv'st, be proud; then gladly let 2 411 635: Princes And Favourites. Princes and fav'rites are most dear, while they 4 332 636: Proof To No Purpose You see this gentle stream that glides, 912 637: Purgatory. Readers, we entreat ye pray 6 420 638: Purpose No wrath of men, or rage of seas, 866 639: Putrefaction. Putrefaction is the end 2 533 640: Rags. What are our patches, tatters, rags, and rents, 2 488 641: Rapine Brings Ruin. What's got by justice is established sure: 2 411 642: Readiness. The readiness of doing doth express 2 457 643: Recompense. Who plants an olive, but to eat the oil? 2 413 644: Regression Spoils Resolution. Hast thou attempted greatness? then go on: 2 423 645: Repletion. Physicians say repletion springs 2 368 646: Request To The Grace Ponder my words, if so that any be 821 647: Rest Refreshes. Lay by the good a while; a resting field 4 361 648: Rest. On with thy work, though thou be'st hardly press'd: 2 429 649: Revenge. Man's disposition is for to requite 4 474 650: Reverence To Riches. Like to the income must be our expense; 2 350 651: Reverence. True rev'rence is, as Cassiodore doth prove, 2 402 652: Reward And Punishments. All things are open to these two events, 2 416 653: Rewards Still to our gains our chief respect is had; 867 654: Riches And Poverty. God could have made all rich, or all men poor; 4 373 655: Roaring. Roaring is nothing but a weeping part 2 426 656: Rules For Our Reach. Men must have bounds how far to walk; for we 2 446 657: Sabbaths. Sabbaths are threefold, as St. Austin says: 4 465 658: Safety On The Shore What though the sea be calm? Trust to the shore; 956 659: Safety To Look To Oneself. For my neighbour I'll not know, 8 444 660: Saint Distaff's Day, Or The Morrow After Twelfth Day. Partly work and partly play 15 415 661: Salutation. Christ, I have read, did to His chaplains say, 8 367 662: Satan. When we 'gainst Satan stoutly fight, the more 4 392 663: Satisfaction For Suffering For all our works a recompence is sure; 911 664: Sauce For Sorrows. Although our suffering meet with no relief, 2 1609 665: Seek And Find. Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; 2 403 666: Shame No Statist. Shame is a bad attendant to a state: 2 358 667: Shipwreck. He who has suffered shipwreck fears to sail 2 446 668: Short And Long Both Likes. This lady's short, that mistress she is tall; 2 350 669: Silence. Suffer thy legs, but not thy tongue to walk: 2 447 670: Sin And Strife. After true sorrow for our sins, our strife 2 406 671: Sin Seen. When once the sin has fully acted been, 2 452 672: Sin Severely Punished. God in His own day will be then severe 2 444 673: Sin. Sin leads the way, but as it goes, it feels 2 453 674: Sin. Sin once reached up to God's eternal sphere, 2 413 675: Sin. Sin no existence; nature none it hath, 2 418 676: Sin. There is no evil that we do commit, 4 385 677: Sin. Sin never slew a soul unless there went 2 388 678: Sin. There's no constraint to do amiss, 2 391 679: Sincerity. Wash clean the vessel, lest ye sour 2 387 680: Single Life Most Secure. Suspicion, discontent, and strife 2 411 681: Sinners. Sinners confounded are a twofold way, 4 359 682: Sins Loathed, And Yet Loved. Shame checks our first attempts; but then 'tis prov'd 2 418 683: Slavery. Tis liberty to serve one lord; but he 2 410 684: Smart. Stripes, justly given, yerk us with their fall; 2 424 685: Sobriety In Search. To seek of God more than we well can find, 2 393 686: Society. Two things do make society to stand: 2 380 687: Soft Music The mellow touch of music most doth wound 844 688: Some Comfort In Calamity. To conquered men, some comfort 'tis to fall 2 438 689: Sorrows Succeed. When one is past, another care we have: 2 387 690: Sorrows. Sorrows our portion are: ere hence we go, 2 372 691: Speak In Season. When times are troubled, then forbear; but speak 2 436 692: Steam In Sacrifice. If meat the gods give, I the steam 4 447 693: Stool-Ball. At stool-ball, Lucia, let us play 12 394 694: Strength To Support Sovereignty. Let kings and rulers learn this line from me: 2 412 695: Studies To Be Supported. Studies themselves will languish and decay, 2 382 696: Suffer That Thou Canst Not Shift. Does fortune rend thee? Bear with thy hard fate: 4 355 697: Sufferance. In the hope of ease to come, 2 373 698: Sufferings. We merit all we suffer, and by far 2 420 699: Supreme Fortune Falls Soonest. While leanest beasts in pastures feed, 2 396 700: Surfeits. Bad are all surfeits; but physicians call 2 647 701: Suspicion Makes Secure. He that will live of all cares dispossess'd, 2 433 702: Sweet Disorder A sweet disorder in the dress 683 703: Sweetness In Sacrifice. Tis not greatness they require 4 424 704: Tapers. Those tapers which we set upon the grave 5 410 705: Tears And Laughter Knew'st thou one month would take thy life away, 713 706: Tears Are Tongues. When Julia chid I stood as mute the while 8 410 707: Tears. Tears most prevail; with tears, too, thou may'st move 2 527 708: Tears. Our present tears here, not our present laughter, 2 438 709: Tears. God from our eyes all tears hereafter wipes, 2 471 710: Tears. The tears of saints more sweet by far 2 410 711: Temporal Goods. These temporal goods God, the most wise, commends 6 366 712: Temptation. Those saints which God loves best, 2 401 713: Temptation. God tempteth no one, as St. Austin saith, 4 358 714: Temptations. Temptations hurt not, though they have access: 2 446 715: Temptations. No man is tempted so but may o'ercome, 2 390 716: Thanksgiving To God, For His House Lord, thou hast given me a cell, 730 717: Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for a former, doth invite 2 569 718: The Admonition. Seest thou those diamonds which she wears 15 379 719: The Amber Bead. I saw a fly within a bead 4 590 720: The Apparition Of His, Mistress, Calling Him To Elysium Come then, and like two doves with silvery wings, 823 721: The Apron Of Flowers To gather flowers, Sappha went, 668 722: The Argument Of His Book I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers, 642 723: The Ass. God did forbid the Israelites to bring 4 456 724: The Bad Season Makes The Poet Sad Dull to myself, and almost dead to these 677 725: The Bag Of The Bee About the sweet bag of a bee 691 726: The Bedman, Or Gravemaker. Thou hast made many houses for the dead; 4 396 727: The Beggar To Mab, The Queen Fairy Please your Grace, from out your store 674 728: The Beggar. Shall I a daily beggar be, 10 396 729: The Bell-Man Along the dark and silent night, 661 730: The Bellman From noise of scare-fires rest ye free, 648 731: The Bleeding Hand; Or The Sprig Of Eglantine Given To A Maid From this bleeding hand of mine, 609 732: The Body. The body is the soul's poor house or home, 2 458 733: The Bondman. Bind me but to thee with thine hair, 8 383 734: The Bracelet Of Pearl: To Silvia. I brake thy bracelet 'gainst my will, 12 360 735: The Bracelet To Julia Why I tie about thy wrist, 692 736: The Bride-Cake This day, my Julia, thou must make 6 394 737: The Broken Crystal. To fetch me wine my Lucia went, 6 350 738: The Bubble: A Song To my revenge, and to her desperate fears, 644 739: The Candour Of Julia's Teeth. White as Zenobia's teeth, the which the girls 2 461 740: The Captiv'd Bee; Or, The Little Filcher As Julia once a-slumb'ring lay, 745 741: The Carcanet. Instead of orient pearls of jet 6 343 742: The Ceremonies For Candlemas Day Kindle the Christmas brand, and then 644 743: The Changes: To Corinne Be not proud, but now incline 618 744: The Cheat Of Cupid; Or, The Ungentle Guest One silent night of late, 647 745: The Chewing The Cud. When well we speak and nothing do that's good, 4 387 746: The Christian Militant. A man prepar'd against all ills to come, 16 418 747: The Cloud. Seest thou that cloud that rides in state, 4 420 748: The Cobblers' Catch. Come sit we by the fire's side, 4 438 749: The Coming Of Good Luck So Good-Luck came, and on my roof did light, 627 750: The Country Life: Sweet country life, to such unknown, 691 751: The Covetous Still Captives. Let's live with that small pittance that we have; 2 479 752: The Credit Of The Conqueror. He who commends the vanquished, speaks the power 2 445 753: The Crowd And Company. In holy meetings there a man may be 2 431 754: The Cruel Maid And, cruel maid, because I see 634 755: The Curse. A Song. Go, perjured man; and if thou e'er return 8 375 756: The Custard. For second course, last night, a custard came 6 353 757: The Definition Of Beauty Beauty no other thing is, than a beam 716 758: The Delaying Bride. Why so slowly do you move 14 385 759: The Deluge. Drowning, drowning, I espy 12 360 760: The Departure Of The Good Demon. What can I do in poetry 4 434 761: The Description Of A Woman. Whose head, befringed with bescattered tresses, 82 386 762: The Difference Betwixt Kings And Subjects. Twixt kings and subjects there's this mighty odds: 2 485 763: The Dirge Of Jephthah's Daughter: Sung By The Virgin-Martyr O thou, the wonder of all days! 652 764: The Dream. Methought last night Love in an anger came 8 370 765: The Dream. By dream I saw one of the three 10 409 766: The End Of His Work. Part of the work remains; one part is past: 2 485 767: The End. If well thou hast begun, go on fore-right; 2 457 768: The End. Conquer we shall, but we must first contend; 2 478 769: The Entertainment; Or, Porch-Verse, At The Marriage Of Mr. Henry Northly And The Most Witty Mrs. Lettice Yard. Welcome! but yet no entrance, till we bless 14 428 770: The Eucharist. He that is hurt seeks help: sin is the wound; 2 402 771: The Eye. Make me a heaven, and make me there 17 412 772: The Eye. A wanton and lascivious eye 2 491 773: The Eyes Before The Ears. We credit most our sight; one eye doth please 2 406 774: The Eyes. Tis a known principle in war, 2 406 775: The Fairies If ye will with Mab find grace, 611 776: The Fairy Temple; Or, Oberon's Chapel A way enhanced with glass and beads 726 777: The Fairy Temple; Or, Oberon's Chapel Dedicated To Mr. John Merrifield, Counsellor-At-Law. Rare temples thou hast seen, I know, 148 489 778: The Fast, Or Lent. Noah the first was, as tradition says, 2 417 779: The First Mars Or Makes. In all our high designments 'twill appear, 2 418 780: The Frankincense. When my off'ring next I make, 4 416 781: The Frozen Heart. I freeze, I freeze, and nothing dwells 8 453 782: The Frozen Zone; Or, Julia Disdainful. Whither? say, whither shall I fly, 16 476 783: The Funeral Rites Of The Rose The Rose was sick, and smiling died; 615 784: The Good-Night Or Blessing Blessings in abundance come 619 785: The Goodness Of His God. When winds and seas do rage 12 399 786: The Hag The hag is astride 646 787: The Hag. The staff is now greas'd; 18 400 788: The Hand And Tongue. Two parts of us successively command: 2 439 789: The Headache. My head doth ache, 12 365 790: The Heart In prayer the lips ne'er act the winning part 724 791: The Hock-Cart Come, sons of summer, by whose toil 665 792: The Honeycomb. If thou hast found an honeycomb, 6 408 793: The Hour-Glass That hour-glass which there you see 688 794: The Invitation To sup with thee thou didst me home invite, 647 795: The Jimmall Ring Or True-Love Knot. Thou sent'st to me a true love-knot, but I 3 450 796: The Judgment-Day. God hides from man the reck'ning day, that he 4 393 797: The Judgment-Day. In doing justice God shall then be known, 2 429 798: The Kiss: A Dialogue Among thy fancies, tell me this, 697 799: The Lamp. When a man's faith is frozen up, as dead; 2 400 800: The Last Stroke Strikes Sure. Though by well warding many blows we've pass'd, 2 421 801: The Lawn.

To-morrow, Julia, I betimes must rise, 4 425 826: The Peter-Penny. Fresh strewings allow 18 386 827: The Pillar Of Fame.

I dreamt this mortal part of mine 23 403 878: The Virgin Mary. To work a wonder, God would have her shown 2 396 879: The Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary was, as I have read, 4 381 880: The Vision To Electra. I dreamed we both were in a bed 10 385 881: The Vision. Sitting alone, as one forsook, 22 379 882: The Vision.

It is likely that he attended Westminster School. In 1607 he became apprenticed to his uncle, Sir William Herrick, who was a goldsmith and jeweler to the king. The apprenticeship ended after only six years when Herrick, at age twenty-two, matriculated at St John's College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1617. Robert Herrick became a member of the Sons of Ben, a group of Cavalier poets centered around an admiration for the works of Ben Jonson. In or before 1627, he took religious orders, and, having been appointed chaplain to the duke of Buckingham, accompanied him on his disastrous expedition to the Isle of Rhé (1627). He became vicar of the parish of Dean Prior, Devon in 1629, a post that carried a term of thirty-one years. It was in the secluded country life of Devon that he wrote some of his best work.
