Living

The Transfiguration.

by Robert Herrick 1591–1674

From Hesperides (1648)

Living

IMmortall clothing I put on,
So soone as Julia I am gon
To mine eternall Mansion.

Thou, thou art here, to humane sight
Cloth'd all with incorrupted light;
But yet how more admir'dly bright

Wilt thou appear, when thou art set
In thy refulgent Thronelet,
That shin'st thus in thy counterfeit?
