CLOTHES DO BUT CHEAT AND COZEN US by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: AWAY WITH SILKS, AWAY WITH LAWN
Last Line: IS WONE WITH FLESH, NOT DRAPERY.
Subject(s): CLOTHING & DRESS; LOVE;
Away with silks, away with Lawn,
Ile have no Sceans, or Curtains drawn:
Give me my Mistresse, as she is,
Drest in her nak't simplicities:
For as my Heart, ene so mine Eye
Is wone with flesh, not Drapery.
