Living

Upon the Lady Crew.

by Robert Herrick 1591–1674

From Hesperides (1648)

Living

THis Stone can tell the storie of my life,
What was my Birth, to whom I was a Wife:
In teeming years, how soon my Sun was set,
Where now I rest, these may be known by Jet.
For other things, my many Children be
The best and truest Chronicles of me.
