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...ON A FLY DRINKING FROM HIS CUP by WILLIAM OLDYS WHY THUS LONGING by HARRIET WINSLOW SEWALL UNDERWOODS: BOOK 2: 6.
