Robert Helic was named Nicholas and was born in London on August 24, 1591. Soon after the death of Nicholas, Helic was an apprentice to William Herrick, his uncle, a jeweler. When he decided to leave his apprenticeship in 1614, Robert Helic studied at the University of Cambridge in 1617 and went to become a baccalaureate of art. In 1620, Helic acquired a master's degree in art from Cambridge University in Saint John. While living in Cambridge, Robert Helic became an elders of the poet's "Son of a Son". "Ben's Son" is a group that studies and worships Ben Johnson, a poet and a playwright born in the latter half of the 15th century. Many people regard Helic as "a revival of the spirit of ancient classical lyrics".

Born in Cheapside in London, the seventh and fourth son of Julia Stone, and the rich blacksmith Nicholas Herrick. He was named after Robert Herrick (or Herrick) by Leicester's wealthy parliamentary member, my uncle, who purchased the land Greyfriars Abbey stood up after the dissolution. Nicholas Herrick fell from the window on the 4th floor in November 1592 when Robert was 1 (whether it is suicide or not is not clear). Helic's tradition of education in Westminster is based on "beloved Westminster" in his poem "Tears to the Tears", but it means the city, not the school. He is likely to join the commercial Taylors College (like his uncle's child). In 1607 he became his other uncle, Sir William Helic, who was the king's goldsmith and jeweler. When a 22-year-old helic was hospitalized at Cambridge St. John's College, the apprenticeship ended in just six years. Herrick wrote at least five poems in Jonson
