A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick

47. UPON HIS GRAY HAIRS

Reading edition

Fly me not, though I be gray, Lady, this I know you'll say; Better look the roses red, When with white commingled. Black your hairs are; mine are white; This begets the more delight, When things meet most opposite; As in pictures we descry Venus standing Vulcan by.
