LOVE PERFUMES ALL PARTS by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF I KISSE ANTHEA'S BREST
Last Line: WHEN SHE LYES WITH JOVE, THEN SHE.
Subject(s): SMELLS; ODORS; AROMAS; FRAGRANCES;

If I kisse Anthea's brest,
There I smell the Phenix nest:
If her lip, the most sincere
Altar of Incense, I smell there.
Hands, and thighs, and legs, are all
Richly Aromaticall.
Goddesse Isis cann't transfer
Musks and Ambers more from her:
Nor can Juno sweeter be,
When she lyes with Jove, then she.
