For Election Day:
Our ease, our thrift, our honour, and our day, Shall we for this vain bubble’s shadow pay?

WHENAS in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
The liquefaction of her clothes!
Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
—O how that glittering taketh me! — Robert Herrick
