Within the poem "Delight in Disorder", Robert Herrick exposes a paradox of women. They like to look disheveled to grasp the attention of men. However, they procure this look in a way that "is too precise in every part (979)." He describes the different articles of clothing like a scarf and a dress. These clothing pieces are laid upon the woman to create an air of seduction. They seem to lay upon her without any order or care. Although women try to create this sense of facility in beauty, they spend much of their time to do so. They have learned so much from the reactions of men. Now, they can skillfully create an attraction. Herrick states that they entice him so much that seduction has become an art.
