Notes About The Poem

UPON JULIA'S CLOTHES.
by Robert Herrick


WHENAS in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes.

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free ;
O how that glittering taketh me !

 

 

 

 

 

For Robert Herrick--And Julia

This is a parody of a poem displayed in my notes.


There she goes, his paramour,
Clad (of course) in silk-du-jour,
Jiggling from head to floor
As though he’d never seen her before!

When he steals another glance,
How drastically she’s changed her stance:
The silk is now remember-ance
As will soon become his pants.
