Show me thy feet, show me thy legs, thy thighs Show me…

“Show me thy feet, show me thy legs, thy thighs Show me those fleshy principalities; Show me that hill where smiling love doth sit, Having a living fountain under it; Show me thy waist, then let me there withal, By the ascension of thy lawn, see all.” quote by Robert Herrick
