Good Precepts, Or Counsel

Title:     Good Precepts, Or Counsel
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

In all thy need, be thou possest
Still with a well prepared breast;
Nor let the shackles make thee sad;
Thou canst but have what others had.
And this for comfort thou must know,
Times that are ill won't still be so:
Clouds will not ever pour down rain;
A sullen day will clear again.
First, peals of thunder we must hear;
When lutes and harps shall stroke the ear.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Good Precepts, Or Counsel
