Upon Julias RecoveryRobert Herrick (15911674)
D
Ye roses almost witherèd;
Now strength and newer purple get,
Each here declining violet;
O primroses! let this day be
A resurrection unto ye,
And to all flowers allied in blood,
Or sworn to that sweet sisterhood:
For health on Julia’s cheek hath shed
Claret and cream comminglèd;
And those her lips do now appear
As beams of coral, but more clear.
