His Prayer To Ben Jonson

________________________________________________
Title:     His Prayer To Ben Jonson
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

When I a verse shall make,
Know I have pray'd thee,
For old religion's sake,
Saint Ben, to aid me

Make the way smooth for me,
When, I, thy Herrick,
Honouring thee on my knee
Offer my Lyric.

Candles I'll give to thee,
And a new altar;
And thou, Saint Ben, shalt be
Writ in my psalter.

[The end]
