Have ye beheld (with much delight) A red-Rose peeping through a white? Or else a Cherrie (double grac't) Within a Lillie? Center plac't? Or ever mark't the pretty beam, A Strawberry shewes halfe drown'd in Creame? Or seen rich Rubies blushing through A pure smooth Pearle, and Orient too? So like to this, nay all the rest, Is each neate Niplet of her breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TOMORROW by FELIX LOPE DE VEGA CARPIO ECCLESIASTICAL SONNETS: PART 2: 25.
