    S1E3 - Episode Three The Clerics
    Aug 27 2024

    John Donne and Robert Herrick, English clerics born in the late 1500s, were renowned for their rude poetry.

    John Donne, prior to becoming Dean of London’s St Paul’s Cathedral, was a former gentleman privateer who attempted to seize gold held within the bowels of Spanish galleons at sea.

    Robert Herrick, meanwhile, from his pretty parish in Devon loved nothing more than writing odes to women’s breasts before re-dipping his inky quill into his pot to pen another sermon.
