Asweetdisorder in the dresse,

Kindles in cloaths a wantonesse,

A lawne about the shoulders throwne,

Into a fine distraction;

An erring lace, which here and there,

Enthral the crimson stomacher;

A cuffe neglectful, and thereby

Ribbands to fly confusedly:

A winning wave (deserving note)

In the tempestuous petticoat:

A careless shoe-string, in whose tye,

I see a wilde civility,

Does more bewitche me, than when art

Is too precise in every part.
