• 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.

  Robert Herrick
