Public Domain Poetry And Stories - The Carcanet. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Instead of orient pearls of jet
I sent my love a carcanet;
About her spotless neck she knit
The lace, to honour me or it:
Then think how rapt was I to see
My jet t'enthral such ivory.
Extra Info: Carcanet, necklace. Lace, any kind of girdle; used here for the necklace.
