To a Lady, who had a very fine Shape, and fine Complexion.
Can forms, like yours, want Ornament of dress?Beauty, like truth, shines most in Nakedness.
Dressing may skreen deformities from view,
But, e'en, adornment does but shadow you!
Most, but by what they wear, are lovely made,
You, Madam, lose, whene'er you seek such aid.
While others dress, their lover's hearts to warm,
You put off nothing, but what veil'd a charm!
