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 !

The poem is made up of two tercets--3 line stanzas connected by rhyme. The speaker muses on Julia's style, beauty and grace. Oh yeah, he finds her sexy too.
