by Robert Herrick (1591 - 1674)

To Dianeme (III)
Language: English 
Show me thy feet ; show me thy legs, thy thighs ;
Show me those fleshy principalities ;
Show me that hill where smiling love doth sit,
Having a living fountain under it ;
Show me thy waist, then let me therewithal,
By the assention of thy lawn, see all.
