For A Copy Of Herrick.

Topics: classic

Many days have come and gone,     Many suns have set and shone,     HERRICK, since thou sang'st of Wake,     Morris-dance and Barley-break;--     Many men have ceased from care,     Many maidens have been fair,     Since thou sang'st of JULIA'S eyes,     JULIA'S lawns and tiffanies;--     Many things are past: but thou,     GOLDEN-MOUTH, art singing now,     Singing clearly as of old,     And thy numbers are of gold!
