Analysis of To the handsome mistress grace potter
Robert Herrick 1591 (London) – 1674 (Dean Prior)
As is your name, so is your comely face
Touch'd every where with such diffused grace,
As that in all that admirable round,
There is not one least solecism found;
And as that part, so every portion else
Keeps line for line with beauty's parallels.
