If little labour, little are our gaines<br />

In numbers, <strong>and</strong> but these few<br />

It was, <strong>and</strong> still my care is<br />

Kindle the <strong>Christmas</strong> br<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> then<br />

Let others look for pearl <strong>and</strong> gold<br />

<strong>Christmas</strong> Poetry By Robert Herrick<br />

Let the superstitious wife iii<br />

Lets now take our time iv<br />

Live by thy Muse thou shalt; when others die<br />

Lord, Thou hast given me a cell<br />

Love he that will; it best likes me<br />

More discontents I never had<br />

Never was Day so over-sick with showres<br />

Next I'll cause my hopeful lad<br />

No news <strong>of</strong> navies burnt at seas<br />

<strong>Now</strong> is the time for mirth<br />

<strong>Now</strong>, now the mirth comes<br />

O! Times most bad<br />

Or come agen: / Or send to us<br />

Partly work <strong>and</strong> partly play<br />

Prepare for Songs; He's come, He's come<br />

Suspicion, Discontent, <strong>and</strong> Strife<br />

Tell us, thou cleere <strong>and</strong> heavenly tongue<br />

That for seven Lusters I did never come<br />

That little pretty bleeding part<br />

This Day is Yours, Great CHARLES! <strong>and</strong> in this War iv<br />

Till I shall come again, let this suffice<br />

Till I shall come again, let this suffice<br />

To find that Tree <strong>of</strong> Life, whose Fruits did feed<br />
