Ben Jonson - Song from The Silent WomanBen Jonson - Song from The Silent Woman
Work rating: Low


Still to be neat, still to be dressed, As you were going to a feast; Still to be powdered, still perfumed: Lady, it is to be presumed, Though art`s hid causes are not found, All is not sweet, all is not sound. Give me a look, give me a face, That makes simplicity a grace; Robes loosely flowing, hair as free; Such sweet neglect more taketh me Than all th` adulteries of art: They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.
