To Springs And Fountains

by Robert Herrick, 1648

I heard ye could cool heat, and came
With hope you would allay the same;
Thrice I have wash’d but feel no cold,
Nor find that true which was foretold.
Methinks, like mine, your pulses beat
And labour with unequal heat;
Cure, cure yourselves, for I descry
Ye boil with love as well as I.
