Poem by Robert Herrick

Discontents in Devon

MORE discontents I never had
  Since I was born then here,
Where I have been, and still am sad,
  In this dull Devonshire.
Yet justly too I must confesse,
  I ne’r invented such
Ennobled numbers for the presse,
  Then where I loath’d so much.

1. The Rock of Rubies, and the Quarry of Pearls
2. His Last Request to Julia
3. To Sapho
4. To Be Merry
5. His Content in the Country
