Ponder my words, if so that any be <br />Known guilty here of incivility; <br />Let what is graceless, discomposed, and rude, <br />With sweetness, smoothness, softness be endued: <br />Teach it to blush, to curtsey, lisp, and show <br />Demure, but yet full of temptation, too. <br />Numbers ne'er tickle, or but lightly plea{e, <br />Unless they have some wanton carriages:-- <br />This if ye do, each piece will here be good <br />And graceful made by your neat sisterhood.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-request-to-the-graces/
