MADRIGAL by ANONYMOUS

First Line: MY LOVE IN HER ATTIRE DOTH SHOW HER WIT
Last Line: "BUT BEAUTY'S SELF SHE IS, / WHEN ALL HER ROBES ARE GONE"
Subject(s): BEAUTY;CLOTHING & DRESS;LOVE;

MY Love in her attire doth show her wit,
It doth so well become her;
For every season she hath dressings fit,
For winter, spring, and summer.
No beauty she doth miss
When all her robes are on;
But Beauty's self she is
When all her robes are gone.
