2268 Robert Herrik 1591-1674 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:2268
AUTHOR:Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
QUOTATION: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.
ATTRIBUTION:Delight in Disorder.
