"A sweet disorder in the dress..." Line 1
Herrick is writing this about a woman. He is admiring her dress. This too is very relatable to us in the modern day. However I am once again uncertain in the actual meaning of the poetry. He calls her dress "disorderly", but does that means mismatched and sloppy or perhaps promiscuous? Again he calls her dress "wantonness", which according to my online dictionary means carefree. Carefree with her sexuality? Or just sloppy? Either way, this man seems to find this woman incredibly attractive, despite her not being dressed properly as most women are. It is an ode to expressing one's individuality and the good in it.
