A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick

31. THE BELL-MAN

Reading edition

From noise of scare-fires rest ye free From murders, Benedicite; From all mischances that may fright Your pleasing slumbers in the night Mercy secure ye all, and keep The goblin from ye, while ye sleep. —Past one a clock, and almost two,— My masters all, 'Good day to you.'

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
