Discover the romantic and playful world of 17th-century English lyric poet and cleric, Robert Herrick, through this selection of his most memorable works. The poems in Hesperides reveal a deep appreciation for nature, love, and the fleeting beauty of life. Among them is the famous 'To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time', a carpe diem poem that encourages readers to seize the day and enjoy life's pleasures while they can, as presented in this excerpt: "Gather ye rose-buds while ye may / Old Time is still a-flying / And this same flower that smiles to-day / To-morrow will be dying."
