TO HIS MISTRESSES. (II). by Robert Herrick PUT Off your silks, and piece by piece Give them the scent of ambergris ; And for your breaths, too, let them smell Ambrosia-like, or nectarel ; While other gums their sweets perspire, By your own jewels set on fire. Nectarel, like nectar. |  Loggia di Psiche, Villa Farnesina, Rome. |
