Cherry-lipped Adonis in his snowy shape, br Might not compare with his pure ivory white, br On whose fair front a poet's pen might write, br Whose rosiate red excels the crimson grape. br His love-enticing delicate soft limbs, br Are rarely framed t' intrap poor gazing eyes; br His cheeks, the lily and carnation dyes, br With lovely tincture which Apollo's dims. br His lips ripe strawberries in nectar wet, br His mouth a hive, his tongue a honeycomb, br Where muses (like bees) make their mansion. br His teeth pure pearl in blushing coral set.
