Sonnet 64

COMMING to kisse her lyps, (such grace I found)

Me seemd I smelt a gardin of sweet flowres:

That dainty odours from them threw around,

For damzels fit to decke their lovers bowres.

Her lips did smell lyke unto Gillyflowers1;

Her ruddy cheekes, lyke unto Roses red:

Her snowy browes lyke budded Bellamoures2;

Her lovely eyes lyke Pincks but newly spred,

Her goodly bosome lyke a Strawberry bed;

Her neck lyke to a bounch of Cullambynes3:

Her brest lyke lillyes, ere theyr leaves be shed;

Her nipples lyke yong blossomd Jessemynes4,

Such fragrant flowres doe giue most odorous smell,

But her sweet odour did them all excell.
