Whenas in silks my Julia goes

I came across a great new word.

scroop


n. the rustle of silk



Reminds me of a great poem.


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;
Oh how that glittering taketh me!


Robert Herrick
