A sweet disorder in the dress <br />Kindles in clothes a wantonness: <br />A lawn about the shoulders thrown <br />Into a fine distraction-- <br />An erring lace, which here and there <br />Enthrals the crimson stomacher-- <br />A cuff neglectful, and thereby <br />Ribbands to flow confusedly-- <br />A winning wave, deserving note, <br />In the tempestuous petticoat-- <br />A careless shoe-string, in whose tie <br />I see a wild civility-- <br />Do more bewitch me than when art <br />Is too precise in every part.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-disorder/
