{When art is too precise in every part}

    Newer Older

    A SWEET disorder in the dress
    Kindles in clothes a wantonness :
    A lawn about the shoulders thrown
    Into a fine distraction :
    An erring lace which here and there
    Enthrals the crimson stomacher :
    A cuff neglectful, and thereby
    Ribbons to flow confusedly :
    A winning wave (deserving note)
    In the tempestuous petticoat :
    A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
    I see a wild civility :
    Do more bewitch me than when art
    Is too precise in every part

    DELIGHT IN DISORDER.
    by Robert Herrick
