Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Upon A Lady Fair But Fruitless. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Twice has Pudica been a bride, and led
By holy Hymen to the nuptial bed.
Two youths she's known thrice two, and twice three years;
Yet not a lily from the bed appears:
Nor will; for why, Pudica this may know, Trees never bear unless they first do blow.
