A Request To The Graces

Title:     A Request To The Graces
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Ponder my words, if so that any be
Known guilty here of incivility;
Let what is graceless, discomposed, and rude,
With sweetness, smoothness, softness be endued:
Teach it to blush, to curtsey, lisp, and show
Demure, but yet full of temptation, too.
Numbers ne'er tickle, or but lightly please,
Unless they have some wanton carriages:--
This if ye do, each piece will here be good
And graceful made by your neat sisterhood.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Request To The Graces
