Love

To the handsome Mistresse Grace Potter.

by Robert Herrick 1591–1674

From Hesperides (1648)

Love

AS is your name, so is your comely face,
Toucht every where with such diffused grace,
As that in all that admirable round,
There is not one least solecisme found;
And as that part, so every portion else,
Keepes line for line with Beauties Parallels.
