Public Domain Poetry And Stories - The Tithe. To The Bride. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
If nine times you your bridegroom kiss,
The tenth you know the parson's is.
Pay then your tithe, and doing thus,
Prove in your bride-bed numerous.
If children you have ten, Sir John
Won't for his tenth part ask you one.
