TO HIS BOOK. (IV)
by Robert Herrick
LIKE to a bride, come forth, my book, at last,
With all thy richest jewels overcast ;
Say, if there be, 'mongst many gems here, one
Deserveless of the name of paragon ;
Blush not at all for that, since we have set
Some pearls on queens that have been counterfeit.
