<h1>Delight in Disorder</h1>
<h2>BY ROBERT HERRICK</h2>
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/>
Ribands 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/>
