There is a garden in her face 
Where roses and white lilies grow; 
A heavenly paradise is that place, 
Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow; 
There cherries grow that none may buy, 
Till “Cherry-Ripe” themselves do cry. 
—Thomas Campion, 1619. 
(Of course they can't—or won’t— 
buy unless they want them, but 
who can resist the appeal of cher¬ 
ries, berries, or smiles? Make your 
offer attractive and appealing and 
they’ll cry “Cherry-Ripe” no end.)
