Herrick's Royalism can scarcely be doubted, and the notion of the king as the father of his subjects is traditional, but monarchs make problematical paternal surrogates: their extraordinary power forces the subject into a regressive child-parent relationship, yet despite that power, like natural fathers kings are subject to "Times trans-shifting" (H-1, line 9).

 Robert Herrick
Herrick's amazing art refuses to engage in Mannerist intellectual gyrations, and seems to leap a century ahead toward the balance and restraint of what Sypher calls the "Late Baroque." However, he never indulges in the spectacular demonstrations of power that a Baroque author like Milton displays.
Herrick might be paired with Herbert as a young man whose poetic talents were somewhat at odds with his career at a country parsonage.
Herrick's aesthetic of a "wild civility" might be called an elitist aesthetic since it presupposes that the lady, poem, or other "work of art" will begin with a capacity to achieve the height of neoclassical decorum, control of appearances (the long-run effect of the courtier's emulation of correct models in Hoby/Castiglione).

Herrick was a cleric, but his most famous verses are erotic playful ones, and not his devotional writing.
Herrick is a minor delight, and if he does not really compare in depth, complexity and power of passion to Donne, he does provide his own special voice and music.
It is interesting to me, however, that he is far better known for the erotic verse than any of his other work (particularly the devotional poetry), given that he was a clergyman by profession.
