Oh, I am frighten'd with most hateful thoughts!

Perhaps her voice is not a nightingale's, / Perhaps her teeth are not the fairest pearl; / Her eye-lashes may be, for aught I know, / Not longer than the May-fly's small fanhorns; / There may not be one dimple on her hand; / And freckles many; ah! a careless nurse, / In haste to teach the little thing to walk, / May have crumpt up a pair of Dian's legs, / And warpt the ivory of a Juno's neck.
