Public Domain Poetry And Stories - On Himself. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
The work is done: young men and maidens, set
Upon my curls the myrtle coronet
Washed with sweet ointments: thus at last I come
To suffer in the Muses' martyrdom;
But with this comfort, if my blood be shed,
The Muses will wear blacks when I am dead.
