Delight In Disorder Comments

The form of Herrick's fine poem reflects its subject matter.Several end rhymes are errant and partial, e.g. thrown and destruction, there and stomacher. The opening couplet stating the theme rhymes fully, as does the concluding couplet. In between the poet gives specific examples of all that is out of kelter in woman's dress that delights him. This lends variety to the poem, and means that we are able to follow - and appreciate -his argument fully.
