A SWEET disorder in the dress Kindles in clothes a wantonness; A lawn about the shoulders thrown Into a fine distraction; An erring lace, which here and there Inthralls the crimson stomacher; A cuff neglectful, and thereby Ribbons to flow confusedly; A winning wave, deserving note, In the tempestuous petticoat; A careless shoestring, in whose tie I see a wild civility; -- Do more bewitch me than when art Is too precise in every part. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OF MONEY by BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE MUCKLE-MOU'D MEG by JAMES BALLANTYNE EXTEMPORE VERSES ON A TRIAL OF SKILL BETWEEN MSSRS.
