Feet


Her pretty feet like snails, did creep A little out, and then, As if they played at bo-peep, Did soon draw in again. —Robert Herrick	1
To make the tale of her charms complete, They [her hands] were matched by the shape of her exquisite feet, Feet so light no maid might show, So perfectly fashioned from heel to toe, If on the eye of a lover she stepped, Her foot would float on the tear he wept. —Jm	2
Her feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice, stole in and out, As if they feared the light. —Sir John Suckling	3
A baby’s feet, like sea-shells pink, Might tempt, should heaven see meet, An angel’s lips to kiss, we think, A baby’s feet. Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat They stretch and spread and wink Their ten soft buds that part and meet. —Algernon Charles Swinburne	4
