The Present; Or, The Bag Of The Bee

Title:     The Present; Or, The Bag Of The Bee
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Fly to my mistress, pretty pilfering bee,
And say thou bring'st this honey-bag from me;
When on her lip thou hast thy sweet dew placed,
Mark if her tongue but slyly steal a taste;
If so, we live; if not, with mournful hum,
Toll forth my death; next, to my burial come.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Present; Or, The Bag Of The Bee
