MY LOVE IN HER ATTIRE

by Anonymous (c. 1600)


My love in her attire doth show her wit,

      It doth so well become her.

For every season she hath dressings fit,

      For winter, spring, and summer.

No beauty she doth miss

      When all her robes are on;

But Beauty’s self she is

      When all her robes are gone.
