TO THE HANDSOME MISTRESS GRACE POTTER.
by Robert Herrick


AS is your name, so is your comely face
Touch'd everywhere with such diffused grace,
As that in all that admirable round
There is not one least solecism found ;
And as that part, so every portion else
Keeps line for line with beauty's parallels.
