The Number Of Two

________________________________________________
Title:     The Number Of Two
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

God hates the dual number, being known
The luckless number of division;
And when He bless'd each sev'ral day whereon
He did His curious operation,
'Tis never read there, as the fathers say,
God bless'd His work done on the second day;
Wherefore two prayers ought not to be said,
Or by ourselves, or from the pulpit read.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Number Of Two
