To Perenna

By Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

(Songs from Hesperides, 1648) WHEN I thy parts run o’er, I can’t espy
In any one the least indecency;
But every line and limb diffused thence
A fair and unfamiliar excellence:
So that the more I look the more I prove	5
There’s still more cause why I the more should love.
