Madrigal: “My love in her attire doth show her wit”

Anonymous

MY love in her attire doth show her wit,

It doth so well become her:

For every season she hath dressings fit,

For winter, spring, and summer.

No beauty she doth miss,

When all her robes are on:

But Beauty’s self she is,

When all her robes are gone.
