O LIVELY, O most charming pug, Thy graceful air, and heavenly mug; The beauties of his mind do shine, And every bit is shaped and fine. Your teeth are whiter than the snow, You're a great buck, you're a great beau; Your eyes are of so nice a shape, More like a Christian's than an ape; Your cheek is like the rose's blume, Your hair is like the raven's plume; His nose's cast is of the Roman, He is a very pretty woman. I could not get a rhyme for Roman, So was obliged to call him woman. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BIRTH OF VENUS by HAYDEN CARRUTH EXPLICATION OF AN IMAGINARY TEXT by JAMES GALVIN IT JUST SO HAPPENS by JAMES GALVIN ABOVE AND WITHIN by DAVID IGNATOW MEMORY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON - LAWYER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
