Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Temporal Goods. by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
These temporal goods God, the most wise, commends
To th' good and bad in common for two ends:
First, that these goods none here may o'er-esteem
Because the wicked do partake of them;
Next, that these ills none cowardly may shun,
Being, oft here, the just man's portion.
