Whatsoever thing I see, Rich or poore although it be; 'Tis a Mistresse unto mee. Be my Girle, or faire or browne, Do's she smile, or do's she frowne: Still I write a Sweet-heart downe. Be she rough, or smooth of skin; When I touch, I then begin For to let Affection in. Be she bald, or do's she weare Locks incurl'd of other haire; I shall find enchantment there. Be she whole, or be she rent, So my fancie be content, She's to me most excellent. Be she fat, or be she leane, Be she sluttish, be she cleane, I'm a man for ev'ry Sceane. | 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 |
