Robert Herrick (baptized 24 August 1591 – buried 15 October 1674) was a 17th century English poet. Born in Cheapside, London, he was the seventh child and fourth son of Nicholas Herrick, a prosperous goldsmith, who fell out of a window when Robert was a year old (whether this was suicide remains unclear). The tradition that Herrick received his education at Westminster is groundless. It is more likely that (like his uncle's children) he attended The Merchant Taylors' School. <a href="https://ww

Quotes

• “I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers, Of April, May, of June and July-flowers; I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes, Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes; I write of youth, of love, and have access By these to sing of cleanly wantonness.”
• “I write of hell; I sing (and ever shall) Of heaven, and hope to have it after all.”
• “To read my book the virgin shy May blush while Brutus standeth by, But when he's gone, read through what's writ, And never stain a cheek for it.”
• “In sober mornings, do not thou rehearse The holy incantation of a verse.”
• “When the rose reigns, and locks with ointments shine, Let rigid Cato read these lines of mine.”
• “To get thine ends, lay bashfulness aside;Who fears to ask doth teach to be deny'd.”
