What I fancy I approve, No dislike there is in love: Be my mistress short or tall, And distorted therewithal: Be she likewise one of those, That an acre hath of nose: Be her forehead and her eyes Full of incongruities: Be her cheeks so shallow too, As to show her tongue wag through; Be her lips ill hung or set, And her grinders black as jet: Hath she thin hair, hath she none, She’s to me a paragon.

No Loathsomeness In Love
What I fancy I approve, No dislike there is in love: Be my mistress short or tall, And distorted therewithal: Be she likewise one of those, That an acre hath of nose: Be her forehead and her eyes Full of incongruities: Be her cheeks so shallow too, As to show her tongue wag through; Be her lips ill hung or set, And her grinders black as jet: Hath she thin hair, hath she none, She’s to me a paragon.
