A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick






29. THE BRIDE-CAKE

     This day, my Julia, thou must make
     For Mistress Bride the wedding-cake:
     Knead but the dough, and it will be
     To paste of almonds turn'd by thee;
     Or kiss it thou but once or twice,
     And for the bride-cake there'll be spice.
