The Hesperides & Noble Numbers: Vol. 1 and 2
Herrick, Robert
Poetry
Up with the quintell, that the rout, 406.
Urles had the gout so, that he could not stand, 394.
Vinegar is no other, I define, 405.
We read how Faunus, he the shepherds' god, 406.
Were there not a matter known, 388.
What are our patches, tatters, rags, and rents, 405.
What is the reason Coone so dully smells, 394.
What made that mirth last night, the neighbours say, 395.
When Jill complains to Jack for want of meat, 391.
When others gain much by the present cast, 385.
When Pimp's feet sweat, as they do often use, 409.
Wherever Nodes does in the summer come, 400.
Who to the north, or south, doth set, 388.
Who with thy leaves shall wipe, at need, 375.
Why walks Nick Flimsey like a malcontent! 387.
Wither'd with years, bed-rid Mamma lies, 380.
With paste of almonds, Syb her hands doth scour, 393.
Y'ave laughed enough, sweet, vary now your text, 382.
You say, you love me; that I thus must prove, 383.
You say you're young; but when your teeth are told, 390.
You say you'll kiss me, and I thank you for it, 394.
