Delight in Disorder


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
Enthralls the crimson  stomacher:
A cuff neglectful, and  thereby
Ribbands 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.


--Robert  Herrick
