His Prayer To Ben Jonson

 When I a verse shall make,
Know I have pray'd thee,
For old religion's sake,
Saint Ben to aid me.


Make the way smooth for me,
When I, thy Herrick,
Honouring thee, on my knee
Offer my lyric.


Candles I'll give to thee,
And a new altar,
And thou, Saint Ben, shalt be
Writ in my psalter.
