Public Domain Poetry And Stories - His Embalming To Julia. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
For my embalming, Julia, do but this;
Give thou my lips but their supremest kiss,
Or else transfuse thy breath into the chest
Where my small relics must for ever rest;
That breath the balm, the myrrh, the nard shall be,
To give an incorruption unto me.
