Whenas in silks my Julia goes,

Then, then (methinks) how sweetly flows

That liquefaction of her clothes.

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see

That brave vibration each way free;

O how that glittering taketh me!

 

by Robert Herrick 1591–1674, English poet and clergyman, ‘Upon Julia's Clothes’ (1648)
