Robert Herrick - ORPHEUS

Robert Herrick - ORPHEUS

Orpheus he went, as poets tell, br To fetch Eurydice from hell; br And had her, but it was upon br This short, but strict condition; br Backward he should not look, while he br Led her through hell's obscurity. br But ah! it happen'd, as he made br His passage through that dreadful shade, br Revolve he did his loving eye, br For gentle fear or jealousy; br And looking back, that look did sever br Him and Eurydice for ever.
