UPON JULIA'S RECOVERY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Droop, droop no more, or hang the head
Last Line: As beames of corrall, but more cleare.
Subject(s): Sickness; Illness


Droop, droop no more, or hang the head
Ye Roses almost withered;
Now strength, and newer Purple get,
Each here declining Violet.
O Primroses! let this day be
A Resurrection unto ye;
And to all flowers ally'd in blood,
Or sworn to that sweet Sister-hood:
For Health on Julia's cheek hath shed
Clarret, and Creame commingled.
And those her lips doe now appeare
As beames of Corrall, but more cleare.
