Poem by Robert Herrick

Upon the Detracter

I ask'd thee oft what poets thou hast read,
And lik'st the best?  Still thou repli'st, The dead.
—I shall, ere long, with green turfs cover'd be;
Then sure thou'lt like, or thou wilt envy, me.

1. Love, What It Is
2. Four Things Make Us Happy Here
3. On Himself (Live by thy Muse thou shalt, when others die)
4. Upon Wrinkles
5. Upon Tears
