Once on a time I fair Dorinda kiss'd, <br />Whose nose was too distinguish'd to be miss'd; <br />My dear, says I, I fain would kiss you closer, <br />But tho' your lips say aye--your nose says, no, Sir.-- <br />The maid was equally to fun inclin'd, <br />And plac'd her lovely lily-hand behind; <br />Here, swain, she cry'd, may'st thou securely kiss, <br />Where there's no nose to interrupt thy bliss.<br /><br />Christopher Smart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-long-nosed-fair/
