What I fancy, I approve, No Dislike there is in love: Be my Mistresse short or tall, And distorted there-withall: Be she likewise one of those, That an Acre hath of Nose: Be her forehead, and her eyes Full of incongruities: Be her cheeks so shallow too, As to shew her Tongue wag through: Be her lips ill hung, or set, And her grinders black as jet; Ha's she thinne haire, hath she none, She's to me a Paragon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK |
