TO PERENNA.
by Robert Herrick


WHEN I thy parts run o'er, I can't espy
In any one the least indecency ;
But every line and limb diffused thence
A fair and unfamiliar excellence :
So that the more I look the more I prove
There's still more cause why I the more should love.


Indecency, uncomeliness.
