Robert Herrick - TO DEATH

Robert Herrick - TO DEATH

Thou bidst me come away, br And I'll no longer stay, br Than for to shed some tears br For faults of former years; br And to repent some crimes br Done in the present times; br And next, to take a bit br Of bread, and wine with it; br To don my robes of love, br Fit for the place above; br To gird my loins about br With charity throughout; br And so to travel hence br With feet of innocence; br These done, I'll only cry, br 'God, mercy!' and so die.
