THE MEDDOW VERSE OR ANNIVERSARY TO MISTRIS BRIDGET LOWMAN, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Come with the spring-time, forth fair maid, and be Last Line: Cherrish the cheek, but make none blush at all. | |||
Come with the Spring-time, forth Fair Maid, and be This year again, the medows Deity. Yet ere ye enter, give us leave to set Upon your Head this flowry Coronet: To make this neat distinction from the rest: You are the Prime, and Princesse of the Feast: To which, with silver feet lead you the way, While sweet-breath Nimphs, attend on you this Day. This is your houre; and best you may command, Since you are Lady of this Fairie land. Full mirth wait on you; and such mirth as shall Cherrish the cheek, but make none blush at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK A THANKSGIVING TO GOD [FOR HIS HOUSE] by ROBERT HERRICK ANOTHER GRACE FOR A CHILD by ROBERT HERRICK ART ABOVE NATURE: TO JULIA by ROBERT HERRICK CEREMONIES FOR CANDLEMASSE EVE by ROBERT HERRICK CEREMONIES FOR CHRISTMAS (1) by ROBERT HERRICK CLOTHES DO BUT CHEAT AND COZEN US by ROBERT HERRICK COMFORT [TO A YOUTH THAT HAD LOST HIS LOVE] by ROBERT HERRICK |
