If she be made of white and red

Language: English

 If she be made of white and red,
 Her faults will ne'er be known,
 For blushing cheeks by faults are bred
 And fears by pale white shown:
 Then if she fear, or be to blame,
 By this you shall not know,
 For still her cheeks possess the same
 Which native she doth owe. 
 A dangerous rhyme, master, against the reason of
 white and red.
