Love

To Julia in the Temple.

by Robert Herrick 1591–1674

From Hesperides (1648)

Love

BEsides us two, i'th' Temple here's not one
To make up now a Congregation.
Let's to the Altar of perfumes then go,
And say short Prayers; and when we have done so,
Then we shall see, how in a little space,
Saints will come in to fill each Pew and Place.
