You Know Where You Did Despise poem – Alexander Pope

A poem by Alexander Pope (1688-1744) , the greatest English poet of “Augustan” or Georgian period

You know where you did despise

(Tother day) my little Eyes,

Little Legs, and little Thighs,

And some things, of little Size,

You know where.

You, tis true, have fine black eyes,

Taper legs, and tempting Thighs,

Yet what more than all we prize

Is a Thing of little Size,

You know where.
