Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

Upon Julia's Clothes


              1Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
              2Then, then (methinks) how sweetly flows
              3That liquefaction of her clothes.

              4Next, when I cast mine eyes, and see
              5That brave vibration each way free,
              6O how that glittering taketh me!
