LOVE PERFUMES ALL PARTS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: If I kisse anthea's brest
Last Line: When she lyes with jove, then she.
Subject(s): Smells; Odors; Aromas; Fragrances


If I kisse Anthea's brest,
There I smell the Phenix nest:
If her lip, the most sincere
Altar of Incense, I smell there.
Hands, and thighs, and legs, are all
Richly Aromaticall.
Goddesse Isis cann't transfer
Musks and Ambers more from her:
Nor can Juno sweeter be,
When she lyes with Jove, then she.
