To A Gentlewoman Objecting To Him Hisgray Hairs

by Robert Herrick
 Am I despised, because you say;
And I dare swear, that I am gray?
Know, Lady, you have but your day!
And time will come when you shall wear
Such frost and snow upon your hair;
And when, though long, it comes to pass,
You question with your looking-glass,
And in that sincere crystal seek
But find no rose-bud in your cheek,
Nor any bed to give the shew
Where such a rare carnation grew:-
Ah! then too late, close in your chamber keeping,
It will be told
That you are old,--
By those true tears you're weeping.

To His Mistress Objecting To Him Neither Toying Nor Talking

by Robert Herrick
 You say I love not, 'cause I do not play
 Still with your curls, and kiss the time away.
 You blame me, too, because I can't devise
 Some sport to please those babies in your eyes;—
By love's religion, I must here confess it,
 The most I love, when I the least express it.
 Small griefs find tongues; full casks are never found
 To give, if any, yet but little sound.
Deep waters noiseless are; and this we know,
 That chiding streams betray small depth below.
 So when love speechless is, she doth express
 A depth in love, and that depth bottomless.
Now since my love is tongueless, know me such,
 Who speak but little, 'cause I love so much.
