Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

Quotes

• To get thine ends, lay bashfulness aside; Who fears to ask, doth teach to be deny'd.

• Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
  Old Time is still a-flying;
  And this same flower that smiles today,
  Tomorrow will be dying.

• What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve:
  The sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love.
