    by Rob Godfrey ...
    Robert Herrick was born in London in 1591 and died in 1674 at the age of 83, which is quite remarkable considering that he lived through a war with the French, the English Civil War and outbreaks of the Black Death. These were very troubled times and in 1648, when Herrick was in his late fifties, he published his life's work in a volume of poetry called 'Hesperides: Or, The Works Both Humane & ... Read more
