THE MAIDEN BLUSH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: So look the mornings, when the sun
Last Line: Her either cheeke with bashfullness.
Subject(s): Bashfulness; Shyness


So look the mornings when the Sun
Paints them with fresh Vermilion:
So Cherries blush, and Kathern Peares,
And Apricocks, in youthfull yeares:
So Corrolls looke more lovely Red,
And Rubies lately polished:
So purest Diaper doth shine,
Stain'd by the Beames of Clarret wine:
As Julia looks when she doth dress
Her either cheeke with bashfullness.
