Have ye beheld with much delight
A red rose peeping through a white?
Or else a cherry double graced
Within a lily? Centre placed?
Or ever marked the pretty beam
A strawberry shows half drowned in cream?
Or seen rich rubies blushing through
A pure smooth pearl, and orient too?
So like to this, nay all the rest,
Is each neat niplet of her breast.


Robert Herrick: Upon the Nipples of Julia's Breast
