A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick






52. HIS DESIRE

     Give me a man that is not dull,
     When all the world with rifts is full;
     But unamazed dares clearly sing,
     Whenas the roof's a-tottering;
     And though it falls, continues still
     Tickling the Cittern with his quill.
