Have ye
beheld (with much delight)
A red rose peeping through
a white?
Or else a cherry (double graced)
Within a
lily? Centre placed?
Or ever marked the pretty beam
A strawberry shows half drowned in cream?
Or seen
rich rubies blushing through
A pure smooth pearl, and
orient too?
So like to this, nay all the rest,
Is
each neat niplet of her breast.
