Cloris, I cannot say your eyes <br />Did my unwary heart surprise; <br />Nor will I swear it was your face, <br />Your shape, or any nameless grace: <br />For you are so entirely fair, <br />To love a part, injustice were; <br />No drowning man can know which drop <br />Of water his last breath did stop; <br />So when the stars in heaven appear, <br />And join to make the night look clear; <br />The light we no one's bounty call, <br />But the obliging gift of all. <br />He that does lips or hands adore, <br />Deserves them only, and no more; <br />But I love all, and every part, <br />And nothing less can ease my heart. <br />Cupid, that lover, weakly strikes, <br />Who can express what 'tis he likes.<br /><br />Sir Charles Sedley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-cloris/
