A to Z 2026: “Get up, get up for shame” by Robert Herrick (~1616)

 A to Z 2026: “Get up, get up for shame” by Robert Herrick (~1616)

Bonus: 

Not quite the same, but fun.

Summary: MOVE YOUR BUTT!

Commentary:

Not quite May yet, but we're about two weeks into spring. Always good to have a reminder to get up and do something. (That was a large percentage of the choices. "Gather ye rosebuds..." was also an option.)

10 feet, AABBCCDDEEFFGG. I think that's a sonnet?

I like the first verse the best. Some nice imagery or whatever, but the first one does well enough for the imagery and also gets the message across. "Above an hour since, yet you not drest;/Nay! not so much as out of bed?" Get off your phone and do stuff! 4/5
