He is well known for his style, and in his earlier works for frequent references to lovemaking and the female body. His later poetry was of a more spiritual and philosophical nature. Among his most famous short poetical sayings are the unique <a href="/wiki/Monometer" title="Monometer">monometers</a>, such as number 475, "Thus I / Pass by / And die,/ As one / Unknown / And gone." </p><p>Herrick sets out his subject-matter in the poem he printed at the beginning of his collection, "The Argument of his Book". He dealt with English country life and its seasons, village customs, complimentary poems to various ladies and his friends, themes taken from classical writings, and a solid bedrock of Christian faith, not intellectualized but underpinning the rest. It has been said of Herrick's style that "his directness of speech with clear and simple presentation of thought, a fine artist working with conscious knowledge of his art, of an England of his youth in which he lives and moves and loves, clearly assigns him to the first place as a lyrical poet in the strict and pure sense of the phrase."<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Herrick never married and none of his love poems seems to connect directly with any one woman.

This appears vividly in such poems as "Cherry-ripe", "Delight in Disorder" and "Upon Julia's Clothes". </p><p>The overriding message in Herrick's work is that life is short, the world beautiful and love splendid.
