Poem by Robert Herrick

Love Lightly Pleased

     Let fair or foul my mistress be,
     Or low, or tall, she pleaseth me;
     Or let her walk, or stand, or sit,
     The posture her's, I'm pleased with it;
     Or let her tongue be still, or stir
     Graceful is every thing from her;
     Or let her grant, or else deny,
     My love will fit each history.

1. Upon Mrs Eliz. Wheeler, under the Name of Amarillis
